Really Surprised!

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

I enjoyed the film, a lot more than i thought i would. BUT they could have done this film with no connection to the Green Street name. I would have respected it a lot more, but none the less it was a fun film. Worth a watch. It had good acting (i was surprised by this, i always expect a load of rubbish with these types of films) The story was solid and got me engaged in the story. I really wanted to see how it all panned out even though it was predictable it was still a good story. The choreography of the fights were good, not great but it still looked and felt like a fight even with all the spinney tricks that you would not expect in a film about British football hooligans were there main HQ is a pub, My rating would be a 6 because i know many films that are better that i have rated 8's and 9's but 6 seems low so for this i rate a 7. I think it has earned that extra star for surprising me after i went in to it expecting another rubbish money grab film.

Was there need for a third film in this dreary franchise? the bigger question is how on earth they got Scott Adkins in it?! I guess if you like violent rumbles between large groups of moronic football 'fans' then you might get a kick outta this. Of course I use the word fans in a very loose sense as we all know its about footie hooligans.The plot is merely a replay of the first two films, more excuses for cockney battles in the street. But wait! no its not! its actually about one young hooligan getting killed and his brother comes back to London to sort it out. When I say sort it out...I mean find the culprits and beat the hell outta them with his hooligan buddies (his firm), so yes actually it is the same.So as Adkins is the main character here you may have already guessed that martial arts will be involved...and you'd be right. Although its not a full on martial arts fest as you'd expect from Adkins, its still mainly a large old school ruck but with the added extra of the odd martial arts moves. Clearly they have tried to incorporate both styles and alter the plot, we find out that the world of hoodlum fighting has become more organised and turned into an underground tournament with no rules. It appears the thugs have upgraded their skills with more precision squabbling, actually turning away from booze and becoming lean fit fighting machines.This is all well and good but it kinda removes the whole gritty footie fan battling aspect that made the very first film reasonably fun to watch (aside from seeing Wood getting his head kicked in). Now you simply have yet another fight tournament flick with semi muscular blokes doing martial arts, the perfect vehicle for Adkins and obviously tailored around him. Its good they have tried to come up with a fresh idea here but firstly...it ruins the premise of the franchise and secondly, why make a third film anyway only to change it completely?I still can't quite fathom out why Adkins agreed to make this when its clear to see its a low budget go nowhere flick. This film doesn't even have a wiki page so far! that's how unknown it is! The main problem with the film aside from poor acting and hokey cockney accents is the fact the fights aren't even that good, too obvious basically, you can see the punches and kicks aren't connecting. Had the fights actually looked good then you could forgive all the rest as fighting is the name of the game bottom line. Unfortunately its all pretty bad truth be told, a football hooligan film without any actual footie hooliganism, not that I'm condoning footie hooliganism of course but that's what you expect here, dagnabbit.3/10

This was even worse than Green Street 2 and that was pretty bad. I did however enjoy Scott Adkins in this movie. The man has some incredible skills. I did prefer him as Yuri Boyka (The most complete fighter in the world) and this was nowhere near that performance however a few nifty moves but him at-least a little watchable in the movie.The football is just a tiny background on this movie which was what Green Street was all about. You don't even see a player kick a ball and there's only one tiny scene with the GSE at a game. They should of left Green Street out of this movie and just made one of those low budget fighting movies we see every year.

The astonishing performance of Scott Adkins in Undisputed 3 (2010) solidly established him as the most charismatic of the current group of Seagal/Van Damme wannabees, and "the" one to watch. Well, there is an exception to every rule, and Green Street 3 is that exception. The film opens with one of the slickest intros ever. Before the credits roll, two thugs walk into a gym and pick a fight with the owner, Adkins, reasons unknown. The resulting martial arts action lasts about 30 seconds and ends with both hoods on the floor. It is poetry. It is also the very last time in the entire film the viewer will feel as though anything worthwhile is taking place on screen. Perhaps the big giveaway was that even die-hard fans of Green Street 1 (actually a very solid movie) were unaware there was ever a "Green Street 2." So, the arrival of GS3, even with the aforementioned Adkins (whose career, we verily believe, will survive this film) was clearly Hubris on the part of the producers, dragging the corpse of an already-dead franchise right onto the outskirts of zombie-town. At least it is uniform, that is to say, uniformly awful. The plot has something to do with the notion that overweight, inebriated, "soccer thugs" have taken to settling their many differences by (not making this up! really!) pit fighting. Adkin's character learns that his brother died, under mysterious circumstances, in one such fight and sets about finding justice by inserting himself directly into the action. OMG is this bad! Even the final fight scene, where Adkins gets to go nuclear on the guy who actually killed his brother, is shot as though the director was still debating whether the film was meant to be action or social satire. Adkins' Manchester accent is acceptable, but if he had used his wonderful Russian growl (Boyko in Undisputed) the film would have been that much more interesting. Kacey Barnfield, from the also-current I SPIT ON YR GRAVE 2, is the eye-candy in the story, and, in fairness, steals all her scenes. Which, for this film, is a misdemeanour, and most definitely not a felony.
