A Prediction

This is where our world is finally coming to: the office workers tired of their boring daily duties will go out to fight each other.

Russian hooligans drama.

It wasn’t easy to get my “hands” on it because I had a hard time finding a good accurate translation (english subtitles). About the movie itself.. Surely one of the best hooligan movies out there, it can surely compete for the top 1 with Green Street. It shows the Russian hooligan culture as it really is, fights with ‘fair play’ rules but most of all the respect that they have for each other and the hate for the cops (ACAB!). Obviously the movie has a story outside the football world, one of the top boys of the crew loves a girl, but the girls loves his guy best friend, and everything turns into a drama.. I always ask myself why these hooligan movies rarely have “happy endings”.. I mean I am not expecting to watch happy endings in every movie I watch but from Green Street to The Firm to Football Factory… Something bad always happens. Still, it’s one of the best movies I’ve seen lately, maybe because I am a huge football fan and a follower of the hooligan / ultras culture. Surely worth a watch if you like this kind of movies. I am not giving it a 10 because we end up not knowing why the cops just want the ‘Teacher’ instead of the real trouble maker.

The first movie about football hooligans in Russia

A decent movie about the life of the football hooligans in Russia. Four leaders of the one of the top firms of FC Spartak Moscow are confused: There’s a rat in the crew. Police has been way too lucky cracking down most of their operations. Fights, wide shots of the terraces during the derby days, love triangle, friendship, betrayal, death, “casual” clothes style, ethnics tensions in today’s Moscow- it’s all here. Real football ex-hooligans contributed to the script and played small parts in the film. Many of the scenes are based on real events that happened not so long ago. Hope the movie will be translated properly into English, so international viewers can have some idea about Russian version of Green Street Hooligans, Football Factory, The Firm, etc.
