THE FIRM. Nick Love's take on the original film shifts the story away from the Bex character(originally played by Gary Oldman) and centres the story on Dom, an up and coming football casual on the edges of the football hooligan scene.
I'm really warming to Love, he seems to be documenting an alternative history of England in his work. For me, he's the blood and spunk heir to Clarke, Leigh and Loach though with wildly different politics and subject matter.
