The Firm

WARNING: THE ABOVE TRAILER CONTAINS SWEARING

Apologies that I couldnt play a clip of the film on the show this week, however check out the trailer above

in Nick Loves 5th film The Firm( after Goodbye Charlie Bright, The Business, The Football Factory, Outlaw) he retains his trademark love for the violence

The often criticised director is usually accused of gloryfying violence, However just as in the Foootball Factory Love shows he can embed the film with both a message and a conscience

In my opinion this is Nick Loves best film to date, and if you really want to compare it, then yes its better than The Football Factory

But for me this was a brave step by Love. To take a critically acclaimed TV piece and to rework it from a slightly different angle, could be seen as bold by some and stupid by others. However when you have the gift for capturing british culture that Love has you might aswell use it.

The films is as much about the clothes and haircuts as it is about the football violence. For fans of the Football Factory and Love's previous work, this film is a must. For anyone else who isnt a fan, give this a go, you may just be a Nick Love fan in the making

4/5
