Green Street Hooligans, Deez movie!



"You know the best part? It isn't knowing that your friends have your back. It's knowing that you have your friends' back."
-Matt Buckner

My roommate Travis kept talking about this awesome movie with "Jacks" from Sons of Anarchy and "Frodo" from The Lord of the Rings Trilogy's. So heeding his advice, I added Green Street Hooligans to my Netflix list. Yes, Netflix is an amazing thing! After waiting a only a couple days, the movie arrived on a sunday and my roommates and I entered into the world of the GSE (Green Street Elite). The general plot behind this film is about Matt Buckner(Frodo) being wrongfully expelled from Harvard and then moves to London to stay with his sister. He is then introduced to Pete Dunham (Jacks) through his sisters fiance. From there Pete introduces Matt into the violent underworld of Hooliganism. Pete (Jacks) runs the GSE, a soccer "firm" in London. These firms are comparable to America's gangs, except without guns. Matt (Frodo) becomes morally transformed by the groups commitment to each other and he becomes recruited into their firm. This is an epic movie that involves inspirational morals of brotherhood while maintaing the enjoyment of watching people beat the crap out of each other. It is a savage movie that i highly recommend. It gives the audience a taste of the cultural differences between America and England. Rent it now! Plus JACK'S IS A BEAST!

    I like how you refer to the movie actors by their characters' names from other movies (Frodo) instead of by their real names (Elijah Wood.)

    Although they might take offense.
