Mean Machine DVD Report

Mean Machine is the classic football-behind-bars movie, The Longest Yard, updated, and made in the UK.

Danny Mehan (Vinnie Jones) was the biggest star in British football, but was caught throwing a game during the championship. Dannys career and life then went out of control, finally ending up in prison for assault and battery. Danny finds football fans behind bars who still hate him, but Danny has one powerful fan in this prison, the Prison Governor (David Hemmings) who is also a gambler. Danny puts together a team of inmates, to play practice games against the guards.

Can Danny turn a gang of losers, misfits, and violent psychopaths, including muscle-bound lunatic Monk (Jason Statham), loyal Billy the Limpit (Danny Dyer), pyromaniac Nitro (Robbie Gee), tough guy Massive (Vas Blackwood), and enthusiastic but out-of-shape Raj (Omid Djalili), into a team with a fighting chance of winning?

With cameos from the world of UK football, Mean Machine is a very entertaining movie! Recommended!
