It seems the easy option these days if you are a British film-maker is to tell of a low-rent crime caper so I didn't go into this film with high expectations but it really did impress me.
The football hooligan story is something that has been done to death over the last few years but it is almost incidental in this film, it just provides a back-story to the characters. This film is more about how a simple act made without any real malice can backfire and escalate.
The characters are believable, the acting is good and the film moves along at a fair pace which gives a good idea of how bad things happen so quickly. Well acted, good characterisation, and a decent story, can't ask for much more than that!
