After being wrongfully expelled from Harvard University, American Matt Buckner flees to his sister's home in England. Once there, he is befriended by her charming and dangerous brother-in-law, Pete Dunham, and introduced to the underworld of British football hooliganism. Matt learns to stand his ground through a friendship that develops against the backdrop of this secret and often violent world. 'Green Street Hooligans' is a story of loyalty, trust and the sometimes brutal consequences of living close to the edge.

It swims and sinks in melodrama.

rotten:
There's a good movie to be made about the violent world of British soccer, or football, as it's called on the other side of the pond. This isn't it.

rotten:
The script is a jumble of caricatures and cliches.

It's what you thought Fight Club was going to be, before it went in a whole other (and far more interesting) direction.
