Frodo travels to Middle Earth after getting expelled from Hogwarts for dealing cocaine. There he falls in with some foosball hooligans and learns that the only thing to do in Middle Earth is fight, drink, and hold your cigarettes like a right snaggle and bumpsy (that's rhyming slang for fucktwat, innit).

How is it possible that a woman directed this? How could she possibly have been involved in writing this? Because it's about boys throwing the punches at each other, you ask? No. Because the only female character in this movie is some kind of lunatic that immediately recognizes the danger she's in, then literally drives to the most dangerous place she can with her baby in the backseat. Then on top of it, she's so utterly useless she can't even drive away. The cat in Alien is more substantial.

This movie is actually pro hooliganism, and for such stupidity alone, it really ought to rank high amongst my guilty pleasures. Sadly it doesn't mean to be politically incorrect, it's just _that_ stupid. Football violence becomes a gimmick in a clumsily handled coming-of-age story, about standing your ground and brotherhood for life. You start wondering if the director has ever even been to England. Also I want to meet the man from preproduction, who came up with casting a hobbit as a hooligan.

I think ultimately it's heart is in the right place, but like it's characters it can't let go of the glorification of thuggishness and feels like someone saying "do as I say, not as I do." It's pretty well made and engaging, though, so it's still worth a look.

There is not much to admire here. It's all pretty implausable, with no firm in England ever going to have a fresh face American within their ranks, particuarly a firm so clearly based upon the ICF. Along with the well faaaaking overplayed cockney accents, the acting is generally awful, with Wood completely unwatchable. There are just so many inaccuracies here that as a West Ham fan and a football fan it hard to sit through this silly, nasty, overly polished hooligan melodrama and enjoy it.

There's much more in it than the fighting only. A good, solid, fast and deeper story than I expected from this one. Wood's performance is great, just as others's and the camerawork is great in some scenes. Really liked it.

(2nd viewing) You know what ruins this film ? The bloody yanks !!! Had they left out Wood's character and focus on the "hooliganism" (gosh, I hate that word), this would've been a great film. Hunnam is a find and in the end it's a fun experience for someone who enjoys Premier League football like myself.

Generally well-acted and crafted drama is hamstrung by a screenplay that doesn’t seem to know what its point is – as a study of the seductive power of alpha-male pretensions it probably scores best, thanks to Hunnam’s electric performance, though there’s not a great deal of substance to his character; as a wider portrait of gang violence, it provokes Mick Jagger’s infamous question “Why are we fighting and what for?” Still keeps a satisfactory grip largely thanks to the performances.

Grasping for some kind of anti-heroic nobility in a brutish, violent subculture is oh so '00s. Elijah Wood suffers from one of the worst miscastings of the decade.

Alexander relishes in the fight scenes. The rest is... erratic. It basically feels like any number of films about a privileged white American learning about the violent but fair foreign culture and growing as a person, except it's... British football hooliganism? Which apparently serves a purpose beyond Darwin Awards?

Was sort of entertaining but it felt like it was glamorizing hooliganism by the end. I like English football but I am a bloody Yank so I have no actual idea how accurate this is (or was when Hooliganism was more prominent).

A very fun film, not too deep but it gives you a perspective about hooligans using as a plot device the newcomer from abroad. If you don't know anything about hooligans is a fast track introduction to them, if you are familiar with them is probably a bit shallow. The story is simple but it works and the violence is done well.

Green Street moronically glorifies and glamorizes football hooliganism and ultimately this is a poor mans Football Factory. The casting of Elijah Wood can either be deemed a stroke of genius or a complete disaster. Personally I don't think his inclusion here works in the slightest and I just struggle to see past his performances as Frodo Baggins. Every time he opens his mouth I zone out of the experience. Otherwise the performances are tolerable and the brawls are mindlessly watchable.

I thought this was pretty good, for the most part. The football culture in England is really goddamn scary, and it was interesting to see into that world. It's also interesting that a film that's so much about male violence and brutality was directed by a woman. Apart from some questionable dialogue, it was a decent script too. Elijah Wood was good, but Charlie Hunnam was the standout. The violence was a bit unsettling to watch, but I'm glad it was. Yeah, I liked it.

This is a brutal movie, but it serves its brutality with a purpuse. It is a rough sneek peek into the world of british hooligans. Those of you who can only see Elijah Wood as Frodo need to watch this movie. Wood shows that he is more than a sweet little hobbit. It is however Charlie Hunnam who completely steal the movie. A movie about friendship, brotherhood and sticking up for yourself set in the urban life of London. Great for a night with guys.

Go figure that this film is extremely well-made and effective, even when you want to label it exploitive and wave a glorified violence flag on it. Lexi Alexander's examaniation of football hooliganism and its gangs leaves a lasting impression. The film is brutal, barbaric and violent, exposing the sadistic beatings and batterings of brotherhood involved in these gangs. I was shaking my head in disbelief throughout, and that it's a picture of a real sub-culture makes it all the more frightening.

What the movie lacked in dialogue, it at least attempted to make up for in action. Furthermore, several of the scenes spoke for themselves created a feeling that words would never have been able to properly express. More so than anything else, Charlie Hunnam will be a star in Hollywood. Mark my words.
