The third entry in the “Green Street” franchise is surprisingly the best one so far. None of the cast or characters return so this could have easily just been its own film, independent of the “Green Street” brand.

Danny (Scott Adkins “Accident Man”, “Triple Threat”) returns home to London after his brother is murdered during hooligan violence. Danny is determined to find his brother’s killer and will return to the West Ham football firm that he abandoned years earlier. The fighting is now more organised and more dangerous than ever before as West Ham’s boys battle to reclaim their glory days by challenging Millwall’s dominance.

Scott Adkins is really good here. He’s generally more of a martial arts guy but he’s adapted his fighting to be much more like a brawler for this film and it works very well. Also, he’s got more personality and more acting skills than most action stars. Kacey Clarke (“Resident Evil: Afterlife”) is okay as Danny’s girlfriend. The other West Ham firm members are not particularly exciting. The main bad guy is the leader of the Millwall firm (Spencer Wilding “Victor Frankenstein”). He’s a very big guy and he’s as mean as you can get.

The first “Green Street” had the unnecessary inclusion of an American protagonist and the second one was unconvincingly set in a British prison as it was blatantly filmed in an American one. The third film is in my opinion, the best of the three. The fight scenes are entertaining, the plot is moderately enjoyable for this type of movie, the performance from Adkins is surprisingly good and it was just a more interesting movie than the previous entries. It’s not fantastic by any means and it’s not as good as some other hooligan films (such as “The Football Factory”).
