A young British Asian, Mo is a fast-rising police officer who goes under cover infiltrating Shadwell's resurgent hooligan element, who are fired up by Shadwells's takeover by a Russian oligarch and their unlikely adventure into European competition. Mo quickly becomes embroiled in the local schism between the BNP and EDL and plans to build a new mosque in the shadow of the Shadwell ground creates an explosive environment in which football and political violence form a perfect storm of social unrest. In the midst of this, Mo is faced with the essential existential question of of who he really is and where he really belongs. It's 20 years on and clever Trevor is now chief super, but what happens to the rest of the gang?

Movie Reviews

Total Film - 6/10 by Matt LookerThis belated sequel adds racial and political tension to what's essentially a retelling of the 1995 footy-fan drama.
Times (UK) - 4/10 by Kate MuirThe film is pretty unconvincing, despite a good performance from Rivers.
Radio Times - 4/10 by David ParkinsonThis always cleaves closer to BritCrime than social realism and contains its quota of stereotypes, clichés and contrivances.
Guardian - 4/10 by Leslie FelperinConceptually, the precarious core conceit might have worked, but the handling falls back on cliches too often, and Rivers makes for a lumpen, dull lead.
Movie Talk - 2/10 by Jason BestIt's all very unconvincing - at one tense moment down the boozer Mo proves his bona fides to the Shadwell top dogs by knowing soap icon Ena Sharples' tipple of choice
User Review - 10/10 by Blonde NAce watch. Loved the first and this one's on point
User Review - 6/10 by Tony PLong awaited sequel to the quintessential football hooligan film I.D. This film was made so long after the first (Trainspotting 2 eat your heart out) that of course some characters have sadly departed us. (Bob the landlord of The Rock played by Warren Clarke). The film retains some continuity from the first with admirable cameos by Perry Fenwick as Eddie (Billy Mitchell off Eastenders) and Richard Graham as Trevor. Eddie and Trevor were part of the original police unit in I.D. The film strays away from football (as if hooliganism wasn't enough) to the subject of fascism by members of far right groups such as the English Defence League. The main character is an Asian called Mo (Simon Rivers) who does an admirable job as the undercover police mole. The Yorkshire locations are mainly in Kingston Upon Hull rather than South London and add little to the film. Another returning character Gumbo becomes an unlikely hero. Not as good as the first film as most sequels aren't but a worthy watch all the same.
User Review - 6/10 by Simon PEddie and Gumbo (bless him) return in this belated sequel, it's not as well put together as The Dogs' first outing though it's still decent (almost nostalgic) viewing for completists of the genre.
User Review - 4/10 by Richard SThe first ID film was a gritty undercover cop thriller about one man losing himself while trying to infiltrate a notorious firm. The follow-up is more of a remake than a sequel and although it's entertaining enough it's the weaker of the 2. Two characters from the original reprise their roles but the original central character is only mentioned briefly in passing and we never discover his fate. The sequel finds another cop undercover but this time the firm is found to be controlled by the EDL and that's basically it. The main problem with the film is that it was lacking any serious threat or menace. In the first movie the viewer knew the undercover cop was out of his depth as soon as he stepped onto the firm's territory and the scenes were full of tension, there is no such threat this time around. I think I would have preferred a direct sequel to the original rather than this semi-remake / follow-up.
