Great footballing fun

Ex-England soccer captain Danny Meehan is sent to prison after drink driving and assaulting the police. In prison, A corrupt governor in trying to get Meehan (Vinnie Jones) to coach his amateur team, after being turned down is convinced to stage a prisoners vs guards match with Meehan leading a group of inmates in a match against the warden and other officials. as the interest grows there becomes more to the game than simple pride to the winners. In a role specially written for Jones he plays it well and the supporting cast of Danny Dyer, Jason Statham and Jason Flemyng amongst others the film is directed really well. The humour is fantastic witch scene stealing moments from Statham. Don't take serious and just enjoy.
