SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Barry Trestain Looking at the reviews above some seem to think this was a gang from East London. They weren't, the Yid army are a Tottenham Hotspur firm. Tottenham Hotspur are a North London football club. Therefore hail from North London. As for the film itself, it never reaches the heights of I.D or football factory.However the film isn't that bad and as far as I can remember it is the first film about a football firm that involve Tottenham Hotspur as the firm in question. As for the film itself I found it pretty clichéd in places with the usual threats of violent language. Having said that I have seen a lot worse. I also thought the acting was pretty wooden throughout and can't think of one stand out performance.

jonnycain-158-641483 I've never quite understood why they insist in speaking with these unreal London accents! Needless to say this could have been an average film at best, but instead we are left with what seems a poorly edited, averagely directed and some rather poor acting. The plot is weak at its best and the script is so way off from we are expecting in terms of British film standards.That said, if you have some free time on a Wednesday afternoon, you could do a lot worse.Not our finest British hour.

frompagescreen Really good film based on the book by Dougie Brimson. Id been waiting for this film since I first heard of it during pre-production. It didn't disappoint. Great cast with Leo Gregory taking the starring role (still cant work out if he suits a beard or not). Yes this film does have football links but Im really not a football fan and it made no difference to my enjoyment of the film.Top Dog isn't really about football, its about people. Its about how they deal with certain circumstances, its about how they deal with family, friends, reputation. Also a great addition to the cast is the always fantastic Lorraine Stanley (London to Brighton, The Hooligan Factory)in the role of Julie. Yes the film does fit into that UK genre of Gritty, Urban Drama/Thriller but if you love that genre. The this is pretty much the film for you.

Karl Jeffery It seems the easy option these days if you are a British film-maker is to tell of a low-rent crime caper so I didn't go into this film with high expectations but it really did impress me.The football hooligan story is something that has been done to death over the last few years but it is almost incidental in this film, it just provides a back-story to the characters. This film is more about how a simple act made without any real malice can backfire and escalate.The characters are believable, the acting is good and the film moves along at a fair pace which gives a good idea of how bad things happen so quickly. Well acted, good characterisation, and a decent story, can't ask for much more than that!
