Sent to prison for force feeding a judge his own wig Danny Senior was a legend and Danny is looking for a way to emulate his father's achievements and rise to be "top boy". Meanwhile in Wormwood Scrubs prison legendary football hooligan Dex is about to be released. Dex is on a quest of his own, one of vengeance against his nemesis and rival firm leader Yeti. But when Danny and Dex's paths cross they embark on a journey as old as hooliganism itself. Dex, Danny and The Hooligan Factory travel the length of the country on a mission to re-establish their firm's glory days. However, the police are closing in and we get a sense that the Hooligan Factory's best days may be behind them, but with Danny on their side, and Dex finding his old form who knows where this may lead. After all... Its a funny old game.

| Empire MagazineSimon CrookDoes for football hooligans what Cockneys Vs. Zombies did for cockneys (and zombies). Very silly, occasionally very funny. |
| Independent (UK)Geoffrey MacnabNick Nevern's spoof of football hooligan films doesn't seem that different from the films it is parodying -- but maybe that's the point of the joke. |
| GuardianMike McCahillI snickered from sheer recognition at the first overpopulated ruckus on a tiny footbridge, and there's a Reg Hollis cameo, but that probably isn't enough to merit rescuing it from the 24-hour garage bargain bin. |
| HeyUGuysStefan PapeA film that struggles to find its own identity. |
| Total FilmRob JamesIt's an affectionate piss-take that clearly knows its source material inside-out; trouble is, it relies too often on lifting other movies' dialogue verbatim, as if the mere act of referencing were innately hysterical. |
| User ReviewTaylor MBest comedy ever based on all the football violence movies! |
| User ReviewSammuel CNick Nevern on SnapChat is well funny with his story lines he does |
| User Reviewscott jBest comedy ever based on all the football violence movies! |
| User ReviewSheridan PFunny with a fantastic sound track. Although I'll never understand the camaraderie of violence, I can certainly understand the basic fulfilment of love and family that these firms give these guys |
| User ReviewSean HBrilliant film. Parody of all the films I love. |
