Matt Buckner and the Green Street Elite roar and whoop in the packed stadium cheering their beloved West Ham united football (never say soccer!) squad. The match is rough and rabid but only the warm up for what comes next. When it does do not run. Stand your ground. Fight. Just think of someone you hate. Elijah Wood is Matt a visiting American drawn into the violent smash-mouth ways to Londons toughest football firm of diehard fans... and discovering a side to himself he did not know existed. Charlie Hunnam plays the hooligan leader who mentors Buckner in the firms code of conflict. And Lexi Alexander directs with head-butting intensity, taking us inside a rarely seen world of honour among thugs. Boozing, brawling - what else is there is to life? The hard lesson Matt learns is that there's so very, very much more. (Reel Entertainment)
