'''''I.D.''''' is a [[1995 in film|1995]] [[United Kingdom|British]] [[film]] about [[football hooliganism]], directed by [[Phil Davis|Philip Davis]] and starring [[Reece Dinsdale]], [[Sean Pertwee]] and [[Warren Clarke]]. It is set in [[England]], mainly [[London]], in the 1980s; the heyday of football violence and the [[far right]] [[British National Front|National Front]]. The tagline is "When you go undercover, remember one thing... Who you are."
==Plot==
Four police officers go undercover to infiltrate a [[Football hooliganism|hooligan]] firm that supports the fictional [[Football (soccer)|football]] club Shadwell Town FC, in order to discover the identity of the ringleader. However, as the officers are drawn into the [[Machismo|macho]] world of hard drinking and frequent violence, John (Dinsdale) soon finds himself turning into one of the thugs that he was originally sent to investigate. The other three officers are able to keep some perspective on their relationship with Shadwell and its fans.
John's transformation into a violent, drug-taking, foul-mouthed hooligan leads to him splitting up with his girlfriend, and to him starting a relationship with the landlady of the football firm's local [[Public house|pub]], Lynda (Reeves). When he has sex with Lynda on a table, a Shadwell [[tattoo]] is revealed on his [[buttock]]. His new status as a hooligan is apparent when he fatally stabs a Tyneburn fan in the midst of a pitched battle.
The film is renowned for its powerful yet very bleak ending, with Trevor (Graham) policing a [[British National Front|National Front]] march when he sees John participating in the march as a [[white power skinhead]]. John tells Trevor that he is on another undercover mission, but as the film closes, it appears that John is embracing the life of a [[Neo-Nazism|neo-Nazi]] in the same way he embraced the lifestyle of a football hooligan.
