Mean Machine

Rating:
Summary: another brit classic!
Review: Vinnie Jones plays hard on his luck Danny "Mean Machine" Meehan. Meehan was a champion football (soccer) player until he sold his team out. After a drunken misdeamoner Meehan is sentenced with 3 years in jail where he is offered the job of coaching the prison football team. To even out a few odds he proposes a match: "cons" vs. the "screws (guards)". Meehan's team is composed of the good, the bad, the ugly and the mentally insane "Monk", as the goalie played by Jason Statham. Meehan and the cons play to earn some shred of dignity. Two inmate buddies keep commentary providing hearty laughs (provided by Jason Flemying and friend). A great flick! Vinnie Jones is superb and is supported by a great cast of wonderful characters. The soccer plays and tensions among cons and screws keeps you on your toes and will have you roaring on your feet at every turn!

Review: Well, the time just flew by when I saw this film! Excellent film, some of it had me in stitches! I had seen the original, but I did prefer this version, Vinnie Jones was very good I thought and it is a film that I could definitely watch again. Worth seeing, whether you have viewed the original or not.
