for 2 mill it's a gem

I love Nick Love movies. Would really like him to make a big budget movie. I think he's proved his ability as a film maker and needs to be given the chance on the big stage. As a stand alone film i really enjoyed it. I felt the film lost something as it went on, and the format was very similar to The Football Factory, maybe that's just Nicks style. I loved the Love/Dyer commentary routine on the football factory and they were back in full flight again, brilliant. I think for a film that cost 2 million its a gem, and to put it up against other big budget movies of the the same genre is a little unfair. Looking forward to the next
