I watched it expecting it to be good and found I had seen nearly every character and every scene in another film before.
Most of the film is a carbon copy of I.D(Far better football violence film)
It also seems to have no idea if it is gloryfying footbal hooliganism or not.
I saw the end coming a mile away(nothing really happens anyway)
The dialogue is laughable, the acting is wooden..... Just dont see why it is rated so highly

I like films that have characters that are believable... not stereotypes stolen from other films.
Ive been going to football for 18 years and cant relate to anyone in that film

Typical mini driver 
Take the joke FFS Stop being so protective
I didn't say anything about its driving ability, I was just implying that they're usually driven by fags orhot chicks

"Yet, excellent performers can't compensate for the film's biggest problem - lack of originality. While few films have dealt with the issues of soccer hooliganism, the way Love approaches the problem is too similar to the way Danny Boyle approached heroin addicts' subculture in TRAINSPOTTING. With this in mind, THE FOOTBALL FACTORY begins to look like obviously derivative product. Too many scenes are being borrowed from older and usually superior films like LOCK, STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS and GOODFELLAS. The ending, despite great efforts to make it unconventional, is both predictable and disappointing. What looked refreshing in 1990s is now turning British cinema industry into spent force."
That review is spot on

Corsas aren't muscle cars, unless AJones17 is driving one

Heat
The Godfather
Insomnia
Serpico
one flew over the cokoo nest
the shining
in the heat of the night
Dog day afternoon
man bites dog
city of god
the insider
and many many more... its not even that they are unbelievable.. its more that they are all stereotypes stolen from other british movies.
I cant relate to any of the characters in that film.. they are not real people to me... and thats ok if im watching a comedy or science fiction film, but football factory is supposed to be a gritty real life story.... its laughable
