Green Street Hooligans (sorry no poster found!) Starring: Elijah Wood Directed by: Lexi Alexander Rated R Genre: Drama Synopsis: An American journalist student gets kicked out of Harvard for holding his friends cocaine stash. He goes to England to visit his sister and her family. He quickly becomes involved with a gang of football hooligans, and he is transformed forever. My Thoughts: For being an artsy film, this told a very good story and was very heartfelt, do be warned though, there is a lot of violence. Scorecard Acting- Elijah Wood really carried this movie, while not alone, he did a very good job in playing off of the supporting cast. (1) Direction- I really didn't like a few places this film went. There were some flaws that really hurt the direction of the movie, but overall it wasn't bad enough to get a zero. (1/2) Story- I really enjoyed this story. Basically a pansy from Harvard goes to England and becomes a man. The hooliganism that went on this movie really had me scratching my head, but I am not from that culture, so I really haven't the slightest clue on why some of these things went on in the first place, but the story was still a good one. (1) Expectations- I really didn't expect anything from this movie. It looked like it was going to be a movie that has no point or plot, I was happy with the outcome. (1) Boring?- This movie is a very slow one. Between the brutality of some of the fights, there really isn't a lot going on. Don't get me wrong, it told a very good story, they just took a long time to do it. (0) Final Score: 3 1/2 out of 5 Final Thoughts: For being an independent film, that not too many people have heard of, I really enjoyed this movie. It had a good story, some likeable characters and a few characters that you wish would get theirs in the end...sadly...not everyone does.
