This film is so very British.
Its loosely about football and fundamentally about violence.
Except it isn't very violent. Well it is but it all seems harmless really, the're all good boys deep down. Look at the way they look after Gumbo. He can't even carry a tray of beers bless him.
The "scary" landlord speaks like yoda, which i think is a masterstroke. Every pub needs a landlord who threatens punters in yodaspeak.
It somehow manages to show a dark underbelly of society where you could take your Nan for tea and biscuits. We all know she'd love the rock.
That, I think, is what makes it so wonderfully British. Love this film.
Don't miss 8/10
