Insideifor 3 years, outsideifor 90 minutes.
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 jail. When the prison's soccer-crazed warden (David Hemmings) asks Danny to coach the guard's 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.

Empire Review

Redundant and repetitive and I liked it! - 3.75 out of 5 (7/4/2002)
I'm not sure I did a single thing right when I watched MEAN MACHINE. First, I completely missed the point that it was a British remake of THE LONGEST YARD with Soccer the sport of choice instead of football (or perhaps football instead of football if you are British and you really want to split hairs.)
Next I missed the fact that both the U.K. Version and the domestic theatrical version were on the same disc. Now normally, this is an option I would have taken full advantage of the first time
