Marching Powder

Part romance. Part comedy. Zero parts rom-com. Danny Dyer (Rivals) leads this British film set in the irreverent and profane world of cult classic The Football Factory.

The film follows the story of Jack Jones (Dyer), an aging, drug-taking football hooligan who feels increasingly irrelevant in today’s society as he struggles to keep his family together. Hooked on drugs and adrenaline; and struggling to resist the pull of his firm of fellow football fans, Jack is arrested after some violent matchday exploits and given six weeks to turn his life around, or else face a long spell in prison. Juggling his marriage, his mates, his hard-nut bully of a father-in-law, and his unhinged 25-year-old brother-in-law, Jack tries to get his life back on track, but his world slowly starts to spiral out of control.
