Review:

This film has achieved a big goal and popularity. Snagging multiple awards at US film festivals and showing a solid audience. It shows a drama film between Hooliganism in England.  Weird but true, "Hooligans" is the story of female director Lexi Alexander. This film is unique because of its violent subject matter. You may wonder what cand we learn about this topic.

It can seem that violence is the only important thing, but there are more things to take into account such us: how silly can be this kind of violence, how many damages can couse not only to a person but to a hold family. So, what we principally learn is how essential a friendship can be and the way in which it can "flourish". Remember that it is based on real facts, so, that´s what happens in England, astounding and true.

Last but not least, although Hooligans is a film about football fanatics that go over the edge, Alexander creates characters that are much more three-dimensional than your classic villain. In doing so, the message she strives to tell is unclear: is Hooligans a cautionary story or does Alexander’s personal history lend for an understanding and acceptance of the firm subculture?

To sum up, I like the way the characters play their role but otherwise, there are some aspects that doesn´t convince me at all, is it necessary to show so much violence? Sometimes during I was watching the film, fights and punches made me feel bad. Anyway, I give good point to this film.
