Well acted and Well Written, Underrated vastly, 3 November 2001

I.D. is not something which makes light entertainment.

Reece Dinsdale shows off some excellent acting skills as John, an undercover policeman getting involved in the world of football hooliganism.

The Movie never fails to surprise, every time it is watched, the roles are cast perfectly, and they are all excellent at their roles.

The storyline, will either bore you, or grip you entirely until the very end.

James Bannon, the writer has put together a gritty drama that will stir an emotional response when written, You never fail to feel both sympathy and revulsion for the main character, John.

If you want a feel-good movie, go rent bambi or free willy, because ID is the sort of movie that will leave an indelible imprint on you.
