I.D is a seriously underated British Football hooligan movie but they STILL haven't released a version with the film in the correct ratio and the pan and scan DVD transfer is absolutely horrible  |
I still haven't seen ID despite coming across the name quite often lately, but so long as it's better than the Football Factory, it'll do me fine! Talking of Nick Love, he remade the Firm fairly recently too - I'm sure it's nowhere near as good as Clarke's original, but I may just go see it out of boredom someday for a giggle.
But, as I say, the original Firm is one of independant British cinema's best products for me. Along with Made In Britain, it's my favourite film about the more violent areas of the British working class by a mile. Can see how both films could lack the same appeal that Green Street might have though.
