It's fair say say that the Love/Dyer director/actor combination won't be joining the likes of Scorcese/DeNiro. Interesting that the idea of redemption and learning as a theme is toyed with then completely dropped despite everything. Imagine Quadrophenia done by far less talented/drunk/brain damaged people with less plot and clue and you still aren't close

The Football Factory accurately portrays the common behaviour and lifestyle of your everyday meat-headed Englishman. If you like to watch grown men drinking, swearing, taking drugs and beating the life out of each other then this film is for you.

Well just don't compare it with green street hooligans. Otherwise you will think this was some amateurish school project made by some youngster who like violence, beer and football.

Shitty fucking film. The book it's based on is a mildly entertaining fare, that has a good go at explaining some of the reasons behind hooliganism. This film however is a mess, littered with bad performances, clumsy direction and none of the books depth. Danny Dyer, aside from being a useless waste of human flesh, is just a terrible, terrible actor.

I like it, it's just not all that good as a film, even though it has its moments. Tommy's hallucinations try to be something profound and surreal, but it really just comes across as juvenile and pretentious... I still like it though.

The beautiful game seems to elude film-makers, who have never successfully transformed its essence into a good film. Strangely enough, the same is true of the violence surrounding it. 'The Football Factory' is more of a slap on the cheek than a kick in the nuts, opting for 'Snatch' cool, rather than 'Nil by Mouth' explicitness. On the other hand it's a refreshingly non-judgmental look at hooligans, and the way Chelsea is currently playing, who can blame those guys? AMIRITE?! HAAH!?? Okay then...

Good movie bout hulligans in England. You can smell the dirt from it. Unfamous actors which is great. It is imagenary story but similiar things happen all the time all across England and Italy. Not interesting to Americans, which reminds me: it is FOOTBALL not soccer.

Feeling authentic with a real sense of the nastier side of urban England, TFF is let down by some dodgy elements to the story telling (flitting from realistic to cartoony, some structural issues, the dream sequence, etc.). It doesn't help that I still remember seeing a pre-release cut of this which sported more cohesion and a better soundtrack. Not as good as it should've been, but still way better than the likes of Green Street.

Down the same sort of avenue as I.D, Another fine blend of violence, British acting, humour and more violence!

Whats else would u do on a sat? Pretty good show about Chelsea footballl thugs who were lucky to millwall in fa cup 3rd round. Danny dyer plays the lead role in his usual yobbish way. Overall a decent show

The Football Factory rightly or wrongly was a coming of age film for so many young football fans who glorify hooliganism. And at 16 years of age I'm not going to lie I absolutely loved this film. Love or hate the likes of Dyer, Harper, Hassan & Maskell they all play undeniably great characters and are all well in their comfort zones. I still laugh at the memorable characters and one liners from this film. I've simply outgrown the subject matter, but nostalgically I still enjoy this film.
