Excellent, a Must See

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

When unemployed soccer hooligan Mike Jacobs encounters an old friend during a bloody pre-match brawl, he finds the answer to his problems .But its a job involving credit card fraud. Before long, the fast paced world of easy money and beautiful women descends into a violent struggle for survival...If you are expecting anything subtle, or classy, look at the title again. It explains what the content of the film will be, but surprisingly, football has very little to do with the actual narrative.Yes, there are a couple of football matches that take place in the film, and the head honcho was ex-firm, but the film centres around a bloke who's voice sounds like he'd make a good narrator for a 'Britains Toughest....' DVD, and the japes his mates get up to.If your used to Danny Dyer movies, various films about Essex Boys, and just typical Brit movies with lots of Effin and Jeffin in, you've come to the right place.It tries to be something clever, something different, but comes full circle to the curse of Lock, Stock. Always trying to better that blueprint.Its watchable guff though, and it looks good, but you've seen it so many times before, you'll feel like you've already seen it....

im a huge fan of British gangster movies, especially the gritty one's like 'rise of the footsoldier' 'bonded by blood' 'the crew' 'clubbed' and 'the take', and although this movie isn't as good as any of them, its still a well made, and very enjoyable gangster movie, now anybody expecting a football hooligan film, will be very disappointed, as there is none here, a couple of scenes at the beginning, this is really more like 'rise of the footsoldier' in that it's one man's descent into the murky life of gangland, and the bad that comes with that. at 80 minutes long, its certainly not an epic, but the story is well told and the film well made, the cast are good enough, and the soundtrack is good too, the movie is quite violent at times, but nothing that compares to 'footsoldier' and 'bonded by blood'. i cant wait for there new film ' the fall of the essex boys' as they certainly know how to craft a good gangland thriller.

I admit it, I'm not exactly the biggest football fan out there. So, when I sat down to watch this film I wasn't expecting it to be my cup of tea, but I couldn't have been more wrong. WHITE COLLAR HOOLIGAN is a brilliant crime thriller that, I thought, was very well made. The directing and acting here are equally excellent and really keeps you hooked to the screen. All the characters are highly believable and you'll no doubt find yourself empathising with them as things just keep getting worse and worse.I can recommend this movie not just to football fans - the film's obvious audience - but also those, like myself, who enjoy the rush of a great crime thriller. Lots of swearing, violence and drama. Great stuff!

The "Geezer" film has become a staple of the British Film Industry in the last 15 years or so, popularized by the likes of Guy Ritchgie and then carried on in films dealing with either football hooliganism, violent crime, or both."The Rise & Fall Of A White Collar Hooligan" doesn't offer us much new, to be honest, but does it's job as well as can be expected. We get your typical footie loving hooligan Mike, played very well by Nick Nevern, who can't get a job in these disparate times etc etc. He's fixed up by fellow footie battler Eddie (an excellent turn from Simom "Jack Falls" Phillips) who introduces him to the world of organized credit card fraud. From here on, we follow his crime career with plenty of swearing and some, but not too much, violence.It's a good film that builds its characters well, using two of the better up and coming Geezer actors of recent years. the old school is represented by Billy Murray, playing his usual type, but the main focus is on the two leads, who carry the film with style. Oddly, the football element does not sit with the rest of the film, and as it doesn't advance either plot or character could be erased without any detrimental effect to the film as a whole. So, not up there with "Rise Of The Foot Soldier", but worth your time if that's your idea of a good night in.... geezer!
