A wrongfully expelled Harvard undergrad moves to London, where he is introduced to the violent underworld of football hooliganism.
This is one of my favourite movies of all time. It takes Frodo, puts him into a coming-of-age drama that’s (in my opinion) better (and definitely more realistic) than Lord of The Rings. It also stars Charlie Hunnam in one of his earliest and best roles ever. The pacing is great, the music is absolutely fantastic (Terence Jay’s One Blood is an all-time favourite). Strong, visceral, gut-wrenching, mixing the heartfelt moments with fistfights.
Re-watched during OCC 2025 on my PowerBook G4.
