Sure Cass is about hooliganism and has enough of that to fit the bill, but this is good enough to be mainstream viewing.
We found it much better than we expected: good central performances and a great arc lift this from its genre to something better.
It really looks and sounds (the language is what is was, every second word is filth, but then it was) like the British East End 80s down to the council flat doors.
I can honestly recommend this a good well-made film about life in Britain in the early 80s, it is a little light on production and directing values, it is shot too simplistically, but the story is well delivered, it is probably not for your granny (unless she's a hard nut), but deserves a wider audience than just 20 year old males with a footie hard on.
