- Synopsis:
Based on the best selling novel by John King, 'The Football Factory' is a study of middle England, football violence and male culture. The story centres around Tommy Johnson (Danny Dyer), a bored twenty something who lives for the weekend, casual sex, watered down lager, heavily cut drugs...And occasionally kicking the f*ck out of someone. Tommy's life ambles along until a violent encounter with a rival firm top boy starts a tit for tat war and a series of nightmares that force him to ask himself the question about his life: is it worth it? Told through Tommy's eyes and linked together by his relationships with three other generations of males, 'The Football Factory' is a drug fuelled adrenaline rush of a story about friendship, revenge and violence. - Actors:

Excellent - The Football Factory review by CP Customer
The film is a little on the rough side but is pretty cool with a good story line and various twists. Well worth a watch.

Violent but good acting - The Football Factory review by CD
Danny Dyer and the other leads really carry this film which has very little in terms of message or insight about football gangs other than the cameraderie, drugs and alcohol that incite the violence. The scenes are occasionally funny but the overall sense of the film is darkness, nihilism and an absence of any real purpose and meaning other than the violence and not letting down your mates in a skirmish.. Worth a watch if only for Danny Dyer's performance.
