Embarrassing. Before the film had even properly started i could guess what this was going to be like. I haven't seen the first film and i feel blessed by that. This is a mess. It seems like when they had the idea for this, they had Danny Dyer in mind as this guy tries like a bear to mimic him all the way. The narration is akin to 'The Football Factory' but this guy tries even harder than Dyer to act the tough guy and i'm afraid he is in no way convincing at it. Screwing his face up and swearing viciously at his box of Cornflakes because two too many went in the bowl. Who is arguably less convincing is the support cast. His bud in New York is attrocious and the two heavies holding his Mrs are more like a Morcambe and Wise tribute than gangsters. Theres some truly awful moments in this, none more so than perhaps the scene where his mate is 'beaten up' by two heavies in NYC to whom he owes money. Our 'hero' who is walking away(slowly),turns to help his buddy and rummages through some bin bags at the side of the road where, lo and behold he finds a crow bar which someone has decided to put out with the rubbish... The main villain looks as manacing as an Ice Cream seller in a Disney film, but he has stubble, so we know he's the 'bad man'. This truly is a horrible mess of a film, which really looks like high school students made it. Laughably awful with an equally brutal soundtrack.

More awful English hard man stuff.
Total garbage
After seeing the first movie of White Collar Hooligan I already knew it wasn't going to be about football hooligans at all. I'm fine with that because this time I knew about it. But if the first movie was okay to watch this one on the contrary is total garbage. It was really painful to watch. About everything in this movie is wrong. The story is so weak and predictable you are kind of glad you are not playing in that movie. I would have been so ashamed of myself if I was in that movie. This time there were two "hooligan" scenes and they were so bad I could not help myself laughing out loud. I heard there is a third movie about it. Well let me tell you that I for sure won't watch that one. What a waste of time.
Time to get tasty in Spain my son......
So I saw this straight after the first movie, and I was intrigued with just where the makers could take this film, and to be fair, it's not the greatest movie ever made, but it's an improvement on the first.
This time, the film feels more like a caper than anything else. We still have the awful narrative, but the film feels more confident, and the sectors do a lot better this time around.
The titular character has been relocated to Spain, after grassing on his colleagues. Think Buster with out Phil Collins and more swearing. He goes to a football match, and is spotted by two really poor actors pretending to be hard men.
They apprehend him and kidnap his girlfriend.
He has just four days to pay back 2 million pounds (see the first film),or she gets it.
So its a race against time, and desperation, as the cast and crew try and find somewhere that looks like a New York street in England.
Its a lot more lighter than the first film, no scams or winks to the camera, just a man trying to get money.
It has all the typecast characters from these types of film, most evidently the two henchmen, one is old and calm, the other, a little rat who thinks he's hard.
It's pretty short, and it ends with a load of football hooligans invading a stately home, think Looking For Eric, without Eric and More swearing.
And it promises a third, which no doubt I'll watch because it leaves you with a Cliffhanger...
