The Business (2005)
This film blew me away
This film is absolutely superb!
Nick Loves best film to date, each film is better than the last can't wait for him and Dyer to do another film.
Its different to any other British gangster film, everyone has this vision that every London gangster is someone two bob mug from Lock Stock well thats bolloxs!
Cor blimey Governor and Dick Van Dyke cockneys well I think they pulled it out the bag with this one, Snatch Lock Stock, what a load of old tosh!
Anyone who says this is crap you wanna go and be admitted to broad moor!!!
The Long Firm (2004)
Superb
I would like to disagree with any previous comments on The Long Firm. I think this is an outstanding drama. The BBC should invest more money into dramas of this quality instead of spending money on D.I.Y shows and 'reality' TV shows.
Mark Strong's portrayal of Harry Starks reminded me Ronnie Kray, Reggie Kray, Charlie Richardson all rolled into one. He was excellent as the 'Torture Boss'. He was menacing and unpredictable but also you sort of saw him as a anti-hero if you like.
The program has taken large chunks of dialog from the book and had extra scenes and stuff written around it. All though I originally thought the show was excellent but after reading the book the book is out of this world a solid 10/10. I would recommend this book to everyone.
I am hoping the following two books in the sequence 'He Kills Coppers' and 'True Crime' get made into series.
