The opening sequence starts with the camera zooming in on a football. It incorporates the Umbro logo and the slogan "licence to score with Umbro" was one with a deep masculine voice over, not specifically referring to football but the female gender. There is an extreme close up on what appears to be the main character. Special effects are used in the form of an explosion, this could suggest that the film will have action scenes in it.
The 180 degree rule was broken with quick editing when Danny Meehan is drinking whilst being pursued by the police. This highlights his lack of direction whilst under the influence. Two scenes merge together showing the two sides of the chase and how they are heading into the same direction. The title of the film and Vinnie Jones is in bright red writing in a large font zooms into the screen to highlight the speed of the car and the high profile of the actor. The rest of the credits are in the bottom right hand corner whilst the film is being played. This shows the significance of the people involved, but allows the film to continue. There is a swift change of scene to a bar. The pace from then on is a lot slower which shows that the film has begun. This is also the first time we have dialogue.
The theme of contrast between law and criminals is portrayed with the main character being arrested for drink driving. It is also hinted that football, girls and possible violence will play a significant role in the film with these factors all having a strong link with the main character.
