So other day I'm at Circuit City and I come across this movie. I read the back and it seemed interesting enough, so I bought it. I'm a sucker for gang/mob movies. Anyway, this movie stars Elijah Wood, who I thought did a very good job. This movie is basically about Soccer/Football Hooligans in England. It's very interesting. It has action from beginning to end. I normally don't recommend movies because most of the stuff is usually on the big screen, but I never heard of this movie. So anyway, watch this movie, it's definitely worth it.

Since I'm recommending movies that I don't remember seeing played on the big screen, I'd watch Pool Hall Junkies. It's a "Hustler" type of movie.

Go on Limewire or some pirate site, download the "One Blood" song at the end of the movie.. Gather your friends and play it.. It will make you ****ing cry and hug each other, and then it will make you want to fight some other group of people..
I love this movie.. God damn it makes me feel like a man

It would be OK, but Wood casted as a bad-ass scrapper transforms it into unintentional comedic gold.

But it wouldn't have worked if you would have gotten a bad-ass from the start.. It had to take a weeny like Wood to make it a good movie, because it showed that it doesn't take bad-assness to fight with your brothers..

There's a difference between a normal, nonbadass dude and a complete soppy-boxed twat like Elijah Wood. When I see him, no matter what role he's playing, the first thing I think of is a girl playing Peter Pan in a high school play.

True.. They should have cast Steve Buschemi for that part, there would have been some major ass kickings in that movie..

The football factory is a better version of this film, both enjoyable though.

'Yesterday, some Hooligans knocked over a dustbin in Shafsbry.' ...Wooooo. The hooligans are loose! The hooligans are loose! ...What if they become roughians? I would hate to be a dustbin in Shafsbry tonight.
No one knows what it's like... to be a dustbin... in Shafsbry... with hooligans...

Hank's tenure at Soulsuckers, INC, LLC, DBA TBD, had not been long, but it had been distinguished... By drunkenness, hair-trigger violence, and a total lack of performance. I would call it a steady decline in performance, but that would imply that he performed at one point in time. In fact he had not. He was drunk.

Shit film, this kind of stuff stopped in the 1980's.
3 reasons why you can accept all in withouth see the floop:
1. if i am 200% convinced that i am a lucky guy and i will win
2. if i have the cards in hand that i wish(diferent cases: AA; AK; ... etc)
3. if i have a so called PokerRNG program that can copy the original RNG
