Il venticinquenne Luca, soprannominato Principe, capo dei più scatenati ultrà romanisti, dopo due anni trascorsi in carcere per un fallito tentativo di rapina, torna in libertà alla vigilia della partita tra la Roma e la Juventus. Egli intuisce che molte cose, durante la sua assenza, sono cambiate, anche se Red, il suo migliore amico, e Cinzia, che era la sua ragazza, non trovano il coraggio di confessargli che si amano e che hanno progettato di trasferirsi insieme a Terni, dove sperano di trovare lavoro. Il gruppo degli ultrà parte per Torino, e Red accetta di portare con sé Fabio, il fratellino undicenne di Cinzia, tifoso scatenato. Durante la notte trascorsa in treno, affiorano spesso gli attriti latenti fra Principe e Red. Poiché Principe si vanta davanti all'amico degli infuocati rapporti amorosi che dice di aver avuto con Cinzia e alcuni amici alludono al probabile trasferimento di Red a Terni, questi trova finalmente il coraggio di confessare a Principe la verità. La mattina seguente, giungendo a Torino, gli ultrà romanisti sono accolti prima ancora di scendere dal treno da una sassaiola e trovano ad aspettarli alla stazione la polizia e gli ultrà avversari, coi quali scoppiano subito tafferugli, che causano lunghi accertamenti in questura, in modo che i romanisti giungono allo stadio quando la partita è già iniziata. Ma, ad attenderli fuori dallo stadio ci sono gli stessi della sassaiola e gli ultrà romanisti sono costretti a rifugiarsi nei bagni. Durante un duro corpo a corpo con un tifoso avversario, Principe ferisce incidentalmente col coltello lo Smilzo, un bravo ragazzo timido e infantile che era accorso in suo aiuto, e il ragazzo muore poco dopo fra le braccia di Red, che accusa Principe,...

Ultra' is more than just a football hooligan film (although there is plenty of violence) it is a story of rivalry and vengeance. The Roma Ultra' leader comes out of prison to find his lieutenant has moved up in the ranks and into bed with his girlfriend. An away game at Juventus brings the opportunity for violence, a showdown and more. A great story with excellent characters. Recommended.

I still feel these 'football hooligan' genre films still owe quite a lot to A Clockwork Orange(film/book) whether they mean to or not. No surprise then that in this film the Juve Ultras are known as Droogs (which is fact because there is a faction named after Burgess' fictional villains). If you have an interest in Calcio and the whole Ultra theme, then for those of us outside Italy this film contains a few interesting moments. The fans heading out on the trains and then 'invading' Turin, outnumbered yet defiant, are the key moments. The fight scene is probably as good as anything you'll see in The Warriors. But the film's main story is centred on the strained relationship between the two main Ultra members and their mutual girlfriend. The socio-politics of Italian football rivalry is reduced to being a sideshow to these somewhat hackneyed romantic tensions and the terrible schmaltzy music which intervenes at inappropriate moments.
Not as bad as Green Street but still no match for Bexy & Yeti and co ...

Over the years, you'd have been forgiven for believing that the combination of football and hooliganism is a purely English phenomenen. Not so! Fans of films like I.D. and Romper Stomper will delight in this murky and unexpectedly gripping story of rival Italian football fans doing what they do best, namely squabbling, bonding and hammering the living daylights out of each other. Surprising and mesmerising in terms, this film puts you in the middle of everything and refuses to flinch. A gem.

Boring and confusing
There are many films out there that deal with the theme of organised football hooligans and most of them do a lot better than this one. Read more
