Mean Machine

Starring: Vinnie Jones, Jason Statham, David Kelly, et al.

From the producer of Snatch comes this rousing, rough-and-tumble story that shows spirit and heart can exist in the most unlikely places. and in the most unlikely men. Ex-soccer star Danny Meehan (Vinnie Jones) was sitting on top of the world ... until a sports-fixing scam ruined his career and an assault charge landed him in jail. When the prison's soccer-crazed warden (David Hemmings) asks Danny to coach the guards' soccer team, Danny counters with another idea: a match between the guards and the convicts. For the inmates, it's the dream of a lifetime: a dirty-no-holds-barred chance to face the malicious guards. But first, Danny must turn a group of murderers, thieves and madmen into something unthinkable: a team. Based on the film classic The Longest Yard, Mean Machine scores with its lineup of gritty action, colorful characters and hilarious comedy.

If you generally like Jason Statham movies and/or underdog movies, every friend I’ve asked to watch this with me has been shocked it exists and it’s actually a fun watch. Had to get a hard copy since I couldn’t find it on streaming for years.
