Very creative film

I really just sat here on my PC and enjoyed the hell out of this film. The beginning, the middle, the end, all excellent. I'm an American that appreciated all the the nuiances of British culture in this piece. I'd even like to go and see a big football game there, I used to play it when I was younger. I'd like to see the enthusiasm in the audience, the crowd cheering.

I thought that Meatloaf has done a great job in this piece, and Samuel Jackson takes the cake too. Robert Carslyle can make me watch any film he's in, except Star Wars. Heh, the whole Trainspotting crew playing with lightsabers, that or Kids in the Hall, anything to make that series end well.

I felt like I was watching a novel and the quick sped up video was fantastic. The wit and draw with the skinheads was fantastic too. I have a bald head and get called Skinhead constantly, and must say that these Neo-nazi bastards really did a great job looking like babboons in this piece.

Overall I just really enjoyed this, as said. Check it out, its fast paced, filmed very British, not Hollywood, and you'll enjoy not seeing yet another 90 minute piece of crap that has normal boring stereotypes.

Bravo, Formula 51 team. Bravo.

I think he meant a clean, cool, picture.
pls notice that no car was blown during the making of this picture :P
and about the trainspotting team in starwars, it was about ewan mc'gregor, who chosed a 'darker path' than carlyle :))
I have to disagree with brit culture thing, tho :)
