As comical as it is brutal, this Special Edition of the "The Football Factory" is the most realistic portrayal of football hooliganism ever to visit our screens.
Starring the excellent Danny Dyer as Tommy Johnson, this controversial look at one man's existence in modern day society is powerful and shocking, funny and sad. No emotion is left untouched.
Based on John King's best-selling novel, this 2004 '18' certificate film focuses on the life and times of Tommy Johnson. Tommy is in his twenties and bored with his job. He lives for Saturdays, meeting the boys, drinking, taking hard-core drugs and fighting with rival fans at football matches around the country. In the evenings, he'll take on more beer, more drugs and hopefully add casual sex to his list. There are violent clashes with Tottenham Hotspur supporters, Liverpool and climatically, Millwall fans, as Tommy and his cohorts look for the next buzz. After one particularly disturbing encounter, Tommy starts to ponder his life and wonders "Is it worth it?" and starts seeing ghosts and visions that continue to haunt him in his own tortuous nightmares. Covering three generations of males, this is a testosterone cocktail of violence, friendship and revenge.
A modern-day masterpiece with loads of special features added, The Football Factory will push your emotions to the limit. It contains scenes of violence and contains very strong language throughout.
