The chaos of the ticketless fans storming the stadium is intense, and you can feel the energy radiating from the screen. However, I found some of the character development lacking; I wanted to know more about their backstories and what drove them to such extremes.

If you're a footy fan, this film will resonate, but for others, it might just feel like a series of frantic scenes strung together. Worth a watch, but keep your expectations in check. Show less
