This movie was a Buy Brand New, or 2 for 20 if thats all you can find. This movie is not very well known so it is classified as a B movie, but it is just fantastic. The movie stars Elijah Wood as a journalism student named Matt Buckner. He is getting kicked out of Harvard because his roomate hid drugs in his closet and Matt won't turn him in. Charlie Hunnam plays Pete Dunham, a firm leader for the Green Street Elite (soccer gang) and the brother-in-law to Matt's sister. The story follows Matt as he flies to England to be with his sister Shannon (played by Claire Forlani) and figure out what he is going to do with his life. Matt and Pete are thrown together by Shannon's husband Ben, Ben is hoping Matt will keep Pete out of trouble. This movie does not hold back when it comes to fighing and violence, yet the story line is one that can be related too. Matt is coming into manhood in a totally new way, he learns from Pete to stand up and fight no mater if you are out numbered "you stand your ground". I can watch this movie over and over it is a movie I have yet to be sick of and suprised it was not more popular.
