    Dogshit film trying to do transgressive extremity, but falls flat on its face. It’s as if Richard Dawkins and Lars Von Trier decided to make the worst possible film about dogma/doxa. I love a trashy film, but this one goes straight to the landfill

    ★★★½

    1985 Heysel Stadium disaster and the Millwall Bushwackers are clearly the inspirations. A manageable run time coupled with a realism that doesn’t shy away from the deep violence of 80s hooliganism. Streaming free on Kanopy in the US w a great performance by post-Sid and Nancy Gary Oldman but before the fame of True Romance and Leon The Professional

    Awful. Shit character development with horrific violence without delving into inferiority of the characters. A horrific story that deserves better treatment than this long unedited shit show. Lily Gladstone was great though. Also that self-involved absurdity at the end? What was that?!

    John Cena carries this. Laughed a lot in the first half before I got bored.
