Get tooled up and prepare yourself for the ultimate tear-up, as legendary Director Nick Love (The Football Factory, The Business, Outlaw) is back with another fist-thumping Brit-flick, THE FIRM. This all-action account of a young geezer trying to find his way in the world of football hooliganism is released to buy on Blu-ray and DVD on 1 February 2010 from Warner Home Video.
Director Nick Love returns to the terraces once again to deliver another top-notch football hooligan flick after the success of The Football Factory. THE FIRM is a classic coming of age story set amongst one of England’s most revered tribes...football firms. It’s humorous, heart-warming and the cockney banter, wardrobes and fight scenes are scarily ‘bang-on’.
Loosely adapted from the cult 1989 movie starring Gary Oldman, Nick Love’s THE FIRM is the fifth hard-hitting film from Nick Love. This action-packed, brutal football hooligan fight movie pulls no punches and is set to a killer 80’s soundtrack that sets the tone along with the bright colours of the classic casual 80’s clobber from FILA, Sergio Tacchini and Ellesse. THE FIRM includes a great cast of up and coming actors who give it 110% with outstanding performances, including lead roles from the young Calum McNab and new-comer bad-boy Paul Anderson.
Dom (McNab; Stoned, Rise of the Footsoldier), a young wannabe football casual gets drawn into the dangerous world of the firm’s charismatic top boy, Bex (Anderson). Accepted for his fast mouth and sense of humour, Dom soon becomes one of 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.
THE FIRM is jam-packed with special features including a ‘making of’, behind the scenes anatomy of the gang fights, deleted scenes and alternative endings. This mental movie puts the cherry on the cake for fans of Nick Love films and is yours to own on 1 February 2010 from Warner Home Video. So, stick your hand in your ‘sky rocket’ and go and get involved... you know it makes sense.
