'Green Street Hooligans' is an interesting film. A football-inert american boy's Fight-Club-style apprentice into losing oneself and surrendering the sacrality of one's body to the unbridled act of fighting without fear, for the sake of football hooliganism. Add to this madness, finding oneself a purpose on the battlefield, much like On the Waterfront, as blood comes out of one's mouth. It is a conventional feature that stereotypes the family and their functions to an avoidable degree, and ends on a real low by making it an issue of using the protagonist's realized potential to settle personal scores, but the middle of the film is worth a watch.
