Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Libramedi Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

paul david There is absolutely nothing to commend about this film other than the main storyline which is not reflected by the title of the movie.For me, the main story theme was not about riot at all but about the damage football violence had done to two families, Damien the cop and his girlfriend cop Louise. Louise lived with her physically and psychologically affected ex-cop Father and Damiens Father was in prison as a result of violence which had a football-related history, a middle aged thug who refused to let go of the past.All the other bits of storyline within did not connect to that at all and the only riot was a bunch of hoodlums towards the end in a shopping mall, can hardly be called a riot on the scale portrayed in the opening clips of the movie.The confrontation between characters played by both Nick Nevern and Peter Barrett has been a common theme in many of the Paul Tanter films. Though I understand he did not direct this movie, he did produce it and he did act in it.Nick Nevern I feel needs to move on. He is a sort of passive Jason Statham and has the potential to step up.Paul Tanter needs to move on too. Football violence in the UK has moved on since the 1990s, just as Northern Ireland has for different reasons, and the film could have been directed and produced in a different way for a much more receptive and appreciative audience.Making a film on principle to include sex violence and bad language does not mean as a movie fan I always want salt and vinegar and dollups of tomato ketchup on my fish and chips!

Alex Hearn This movie is kind of an enigma, if you read the review that is tagged by IMDb you'd think it was the next Academy award winner for best picture? But it only garners a 4.1 from members and it's dropping fast?Then I remember hearing that Yahoo did a study, and even in it's own reviews 80% were fake, one way or the other... This movie is no Diff.The real reviews are easy to pick out, as they are the ones SPOT ON, to quote that tagged review... The acting here is somewhat less than stellar as is the directing, the budget is smaller than most movies, but I would still say was a wasted expense~they'll be no profits still~except for those already made... ;-)Believable, No!Good acting or direction, NOAlxMac (me) gives this a 2.1 you may even give it less. Put it this way, if it was a EarthQuake on the CA coast, after being reported many people would say, "I never felt a thing"... Pun? For sure, you might feel something, but I doubt it will be anything but the feeling to find a commode chair ASAP and grab the for railings...

leonblackwood Review: This is just your typical violent English movie with your usual dose of swearing, sex and violence. The acting in the movie was quite terrible for the leading actors, but the storyline wasn't too bad. I also though that the film looked pretty cheap and it just seemed to go round and round in circles. By the end of the film it just seemed like the director wanted to show how much policemen can get away with, which wasn't a smart way to portray the people who are supposed to protect public. Anyway, I wasn't that impressed with it.Round-Up: I wasn't expecting that much from this movie so I wasn't that disappointed. Some of the scenes were pretty graphic, but there wasn't any real moral to the story. For a low budget movie, it does have a bit of substance but nothing worth watching again.Budget: £1.5million Worldwide Gross: N/AI recommend this movie to people who are into there violent British movies. 2/10

frompagescreen This whole film just impressed me so much. Made for a reported £1.5 million pounds which to put into perspective is about a quarter of a single episode of Game of Thrones. this 80 odd minute film seems far more epic than Im sure it is. Extremely well directed by Simon Phillips (who co starred with Nick Nevern in Rise and Fall of a White Collar Hooligan). Simon has chosen this film to begin what I hope it a long directing career. This is one hell of a debut. There are some very powerful sequences in this film, the storyline is tight and the acting and basically the entire production is spot on. Loved this film and cant wait to see more roles from Nick Nevern and more directing gigs from Simon Phillips.
