Green Street is one of a few football related films that came out in recent years. Like the others, it showcases the mob violence that often comes hand in hand with football hooliganism, and really paints all football fans in bad light. Recent events at a Millwall v West Ham fixture don't help matters, and all this serves to do is point out ...  Read the complete review

I got a bit bored of watching Elijah Wood as a hobbit, it was nice to see him adapt to a different role. Not sure if an english football hooliagn is really up his street though. Maybe his part in this film was to increase its profile because I don't think his character was all that necessary. In fact the plot throughout the whole film is pretty ...  Read the complete review

Being a west Ham fan, I was keenly awaiting to see this film when it came out. The film was directed by Lexi Alexander (2004) and featured music by Kasabian. This DVD quite justifiably carries an 18 certificate. The particular DVD I saw was not HD, but was widescreen, and did have Dolby Digital 5.1 so the atmospheric enviroment and ...  Read the complete review

You wouldn't expect Frodo to be able to go from hobbit to hooligan however Elijah Wood plays a great part in this film as at first an innocent american uni student who then converts into a bloody thirsty hooligan. The film is based is London and the vicious rivalries between football clubs. The ...  Read the complete review

I have read other reviews about this film and after seeing it myself I think people are sort of missing the point about this movie. Its not supposed to be like your typical football factory type movie but more so about the lives and morals of the fans outside of the football ground. The story itself revolves around Matt Buckner (Elijah ...  Read the complete review

Green Street is quite simply a film that should never have been made. It's awful! The dialogue is atrocious, the 'Baggy' indie soundtrack dated and the casting cheap and obtuse, the directing a joke. The only people who would buy or rent this would be the films subject matter in football hooligans, probably to laugh at the films representation of ...  Read the complete review

I have just seen this on TV. It is not the sort of thing I would rent and normally I wouldn't have watched it, but there was nothing on TV that vaguely interested me and I was at the very same time, writing listings for E bay. (I am a women, we do two things at the same time and its very easy for us to do so). The outline of the film, ...  Read the complete review

Green Street is a film based around football hooliganism and is not a great deal different from Football Factory, except one of the main characters is the wimpy Elijah Wood rather than the well liked Danny Dyer. The film centres around an invented West Ham football firm called the Green Street Elite and a journalist student from ...  Read the complete review

When my boyfriend came home with this film i wasn't overly impressed with him! I bit my tongue however and sat and watched it all the way through.
