Mean Machine


Man, this is a truly awful movie. It's The Longest Yard, except in britain and with soccer.

And I don't mean "inspired by" I mean the same movie with the same plot, characters, and even lines (with appropriate substitutions of british slang).

And yes, I knew what this was when I put it on my netflix queue. I thought it would be entertaining and kind of surreal to watch. That lasted about 10 minutes. I made it to about 45 minutes before I just couldn't take it anymore.

Also, the Burt Reynolds character is played by Vinnie Jones. Now I like Vinnie in the small parts he has had. He plays a henchman or psychopath well but wow, he cannot pull off the lead.
