The Firm Movie

[greasy09]

Loosely adapted from Alan Clarke’s 1989 classic TV film, Nick Love’s film is set earlier in the 80’s and retells a similar story to the original – but from a different character’s point of view. The film centres on Dom, a young wannabe football casual, who gets drawn into the charismatic but dangerous world of the firm’s top boy, Bex.

 

Accepted for his fast mouth and sense of humour, Dom soon becomes one the boys. But as Bex and his gang clash with rival firms across the country and the violence spirals out of control, Dom realises he wants out – until he learns it’s not that easy to simply walk away.

 

Humorous, heart warming and set to a killer jazz funk 80’s soundtrack, The Firm is a classic coming of age story set amongst one of England’s most revered tribes

Not sure what this is doing in the browns forum?? But having seen first hand for many years what the reality of English football holliganism is all about, it's nothing to be celebrated and has no glamour whatsoever. Those clashing morons kill people and hurt innocent bystanders, I've seen dad's shielding their young sons and daughters from missiles, mass street brawls and random attacks, It's not at all worthy of the kind of glamorization these cheap films give. Give me a well humoured tailgate atmosphere every time.
