“I Am Hooligan” (*1/2 out of four) was an almost completely uninvolving melodrama set in the London underground about a young man (Mark Wingett) who becomes gradually brainwashed into thinking that the only way out of his dead-end existence is to ignore society’s conventions and become a football hooligan. He should have found his way out of this dead-end story instead. Grungy and grimey-looking movie cries out for the stylistics of Guy Ritchie whose movies look like award material next to this. “I Am A Loser” might have been a more apt title for this timewaster.
