So, this is the Longest Yard with English people and soccer instead of football . . . and it works. A really enjoyable movie that is funny and keeps you entertained despite the familiar plot. Vinnie Jones really stands out as Danny. Worth watching even if you don't love football . . .or I suppose if you don't care for the English . . .

Mean machine is a UK remake of the longest yard (1974 Burt Reynolds) and it is actually a really enjoyable movie to watch it revolves around Danny Meehan a former captain of the england football team who is banned from the league for fixing a match between England and Germany after assaulting two police officers while intoxicated he sentenced 3 years in prison pretty much you can guess the rest if you seen the US remake from 2005 starring Adam Sandler and Chris Rock it differs only a little but i will say that i like this incarnation best Vinnie Jones is great but its not a long stretch him playing a wise cracking English footballer if you have not seen this movie i strongly recommend
