Blimey… it does take a Mean Machine to eradicate meanness…

Sure this MEAN MACHINE flick is flooded with re-cycled clichés of past films, but watching Vinnie Jones and Jason Statham’s impressionable performances is definitely worth the price of a tix! A guy’s movie with cheers for the cons, and jeers for their “screwsâ€Â?, perhaps… but the abundance of silly on-field goofs and the fantastic soccer game will indeed send the viewers guffawing boisterously! Hey, do real soccer games actually pump up so much excitement? This flick is one mean drama that allows the whole cast to kick up laughter! Yep, this lot does prove a film’s characters can have on screen chemistry! If you have a knack for good old “tavernâ€Â? parlance -Cockney style – this is one fun film to watch! Psychotic players with their crazy antics, ruthlessly and insensibly nudging one another! Tough charlatans – at best! – and their power struggle out on the open field! Hurray, I’m for the cons… and I do recommend this flick, just for the sake of insenseless laughter! 😀
