Without being entirely ignorant, there are always certain films that I anticipate seeing more than others. After the pretty dreadful Green Street, I'd be lying if I said hearing the rumours about a straight-to-dvd sequel had me, in any way, twitching in extreme anticipation.
Green Street 2 tracks the members of rival firms West Ham United and Millwall, who are now serving time in a tough prison for their fighting in the previous film.
After wasting an hour and half of my life to watch this pathetic attempt at filmmaking, I can conclude that my instincts were indeed right.
Firstly, how they can even call it a "sequel" is way beyond me, as it contains just one actor from the first film- Dave (and no, I can't remember him either). The violence is explicit, but poorly choreographed; never exciting or partly intriguing. The acting I wouldn't say is laughable, rather, it's so irritably bad that it's really made me wonder whether I have a life at all, after managing to sit through the entirety of the film and then even bother to write this review.
Oh, and get this: the prison guards decide that it's a great idea for the hooligan inmates to take part in a rival football match, with each of the winners being granted freedom to the outside world.
I shit you not.
Even more unbelievable is the way the film attempts to portray the GSE firm as a group of innocent, young men, that we're suppose to root for. "We just wanna do our time, with no trouble," says Dave. Give me a break.
There's a reason films like this go straight to DVD. But, I think Green Street 2 should, indeed, be very grateful that it got a release in that sense at all. Appalling.

Advantages: There is a lot of fighting Disadvantages: Lack of storyline
...drugs to sell in jail. Millwall is lead by a man who is not right in the head. There is only one character from the original Green Street Mickey which is also a downfall of the film. This movie is good but not a must see. 7 out of 10 ...
