Review of Top Dog

Top Dog (2014)
4/10
Yet another football hooligan story
19 April 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Having followed my team home and away in the 70's and 80's I found the confrontation scenes laughable, not sure how thick you would have to be to want to face people armed with knifes, bottles and baseball bats most fans wanted to know where the pub was when they travelled away. The story is pretty predictable Billy Evans played by Leo Gregory gets in way over his head when he starts a pitch war with Mickey played by Ricci Harnett. The major problem is everyone seems to be trying to out leery everyone else which becomes a bit wearisome, the best actor by a country mile is Vincent Regan who understands less is more. Not the worst Saturday night Sky movie but unfortunately Martin Kemp makes a hash of the film with lack of pace, building up tension, empathy for characters, loved one posters comment "Lorraine Stanley playing Julie appears to have based her character on Waynetta Slob" had me laughing out loud this morning.
