It's a fun movie. Don't expect the style of Guy Ritchie's hits Lock... and Snatch, even though a lot of the actors who starred in them are present in this movie as well. It's another soccer flick that doesn't play too hard to get out of the lot. Not many soccer movies have been produced, but among the few we can count Victory -with Michael Caine and Sly Stallone, and Shaolin Soccer. While the former present players with a serious issue at stake, the latter really doesn't take itself seriously, and is nearly fully mean to amuse. Well "The Mean Machine" places itself sort of in between these two kinds and the result is quite enjoyable. Vinnie Jones is good in the role, and there are some fancy movies displayed from his part on the soccer field. In addition, there's some really funny bits, notably the match commentary which is absolutely hilarious!! If you like soccer and want to have a good time, this movie's for ya.
