James
Nunn's Green Street Hooligans 3 is a so-so direct to video
sequel with decent production design but lackluster acting. Starring
Scott Adkins (who was in the previous sequel) plays a tough as nails
fighter that will stop at nothing to avenge his brother's death.
While the plot is pretty predictable, the acting isn't as bad as it
could be.
Danny
Harvey, played by Adkins, returns to London in order to find the
killer of his younger brother who has been killed during a
pre-arranged fights between rival football gangs. Harvey has
rejected football related violence but plans to gain his revenge by
turning his unfit and overweight firm, the Green Street Elite, based
on the supporters of West Ham United FC, into a fighting force using
the training methods of mixed martial arts and beat their opposing
firm. Supporters of their arch-enemies, based on the supporters of
Millwall FC. Victor, played by Joey Ansah, is the martial artists
expert who takes on the role of training the fighters.
Picture
and sound presentation is standard for DVD format with a 2.35:1
widescreen anamorphic aspect ratio and a lossy Dolby Digital 5.1
track. Running time is brief at 94 minutes but not surprising for a
direct to video film. Special Features are slim with merely a Behind
The Scenes Featurette.
