The Green Street Hooligans - 2005 - 7/10

Expelled Harvard student heads to England to rebuild.
There, he wanders into a football firm and gradually acquires a taste for violence.
Elijah Woods seems something of odd casting. Sometimes believable, other times less so.
Viewed as a “continuing education” story, this works better, especially as Matt grows into a formidable male.
Developing useful skills and instincts.
Based on a novel, which I read per my wife’s recommendation, this can be brutal at times.
