His look is pure Fight Club chic and he doesn't have a character as such, at least not a coherent onehe's just there to function as a dubious mentor for Matt.

The glorification of hooliganism is a poor indicment of our society. That element has gone, I hope the film portrays exactly how sad these people are and doesn't shower them in some horrific glory.

Both a little dated but they p*ss all over this steaming pile of dung. Met the actors and so on, but I wasn't too impressed.

It's directed with energy by Lexi Alexander, who also co-wrote, and the script has some wit to it.

On paper it sounds ridiculous putting Frodo in a film about football hooliganism and I admit I laughed when I read about it but in fact Wood is perfect for the part of a shy, nerdy guy who discovers his inner thug. Green Street has picked up some good notices abroad and at film festivals, which doesn't surprise me.
Scratch that, the whole film is a cop-out.

The amazing thing is that Lexi Alexander is supposed to have lived in London and been a member of a hooligan firm.

Details large and small keep ringing false and pulling us out of the film. QUOTE(bumpyknuckles @ Dec 28 2006, 09:04 AM) thats the one with elija wood huh? its ok but football factory is better in my opinionagreed.
