Green Street Hooligans (2005)

55

Based on 22 critic reviews provided by

88	Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert Then I realized the movie's point is that someone like this nerdy Harvard boy might be transformed in a fairly short time into a bloodthirsty gang fighter. The message is that violence is hard-wired into men, if only the connection is made.
80	Film Threat A great film because of it's realism and the ability to show viewers a world that exists even today, but not everyone knows about.
75	Boston Globe Wesley Morris The movie, though, is nonsense. At its most credible, the story evokes fond memories of the adult drug narcs hiding among American high schoolers on ''21 Jump Street."
75	San Francisco Chronicle Terrific.
75	New York Post Director and co-writer Lexi Alexander choreographs the fight scenes with thrilling chaos, and the plot unfolds expertly if melodramatically.
63	New York Daily News Jami Bernard Wood is compelling, but Charlie Hunnam ("Nicholas Nickleby") is the one to watch.
50	Philadelphia Inquirer Steven Rea A silly melodrama.
50	The Hollywood Reporter Viewers hoping to understand the senseless phenomenon of football hooliganism would do better to rent Alan Clarke's nearly 20-year-old "The Firm."
40	Empire Chris Hewitt A surprisingly rose-tinted look at a subculture that really should have been stamped out some time ago.
38	Chicago Tribune This is "Fight Club" without the irony or the metaphysical gaming.
