    Then I realized the movie's point is that someone like this nerdy Harvard boy might be transformed in a fairly short time into a bloodthirsty gang fighter. The message is that violence is hard-wired into men, if only the connection is made.

    Viewers hoping to understand the senseless phenomenon of football hooliganism would do better to rent Alan Clarke's nearly 20-year-old "The Firm."

    This is "Fight Club" without the irony or the metaphysical gaming.

    This movie is not a 10 or anything close to a "10", please. So contrived and forced. Trying so hard and failing. Do the people who give this a ten watch other movies too? Geez. I gave it a 3 because some of the acting is the only thing that keeps one engaged. Elijah, who I am a fan of, is horribly miscast here.… Expand
