Additional InformationMatt Buckner (Elijah Wood) is a student who travels to London, where he forms an unlikely bond with his sisterÆs husband's brother, Pete Dunham (Charlie Hunnam), who introduces him to the world of football hooliganism. Violence breaks out at a West Ham game that Matt attends with Pete and Matt's initial trepidation at the violence swelling around him soon turns into a pulse-racing, visceral thrill. Suddenly finding a taste for the hooligan life, Matt joins Pete's "firm," the Green Street Elite, leading to further booze-fuelled confrontations and providing an opportunity for Matt to keep a journal explaining why he's attracted to such a violent pursuit. Surprisingly, Elijah Wood manages to fit perfectly into a role that seems ill-suited to his elfin, wide-eyed looks. Charlie Hunnam--who starred in the television programmes QUEER AS FOLK and UNDECLARED--neatly complements Wood as the cockney boy who leads him into danger, and together the two actors manage to carve out convincingly violent characters. Thematically similar to THE FOOTBALL FACTORY, GREEN STREET mixes loud, energetic soundtrack and roaming, trembling camera work to create a disquieting atmosphere in a movie punctuated with scenes of rampant brutality.
ReviewsEvening Standard - Brutality, camaraderie football Fight Club., Variety - Exhilarating anything-can-happen excitement., Nuts - Makes 'The Football Factory' look like a girly playground scrap!
