Was a good film. We reckon it was only an 18 certificate on account of the language. There was some good fighting action on it, but you don't really get to see it.

Green Street was the better film in this genre.

Still worth a watch though.

He's not in it much though is he? Gary Oldman is one of the main guys, pure legend of an actor, True Romance, Leon, Firm, Hannibal, Fifth element, Batman Dark night and even Call of duty WAW. The guys a psycho in the firm, that argument scene with his wife.

I know this is your opinion but green street better rofl. That film was so far from anything like being at the footy than anything at all and fooked footy up for proper lads all around the country with spineless pricks wearing aqua and so on thinking it was cool after watching green street.

Went to see it last night, disappointing.

Its very little improvement on the original. Most of the gear was spot on but some obvious mistakes.
The tools in the fight scenes were way too far fetched.

A good film to watch if it was on TV, but not worth paying to see at the cinema IMO.
