Film - The Business.
Discussion
I've heard it sucks. Apparently it's all wannabe style, copycat scenes and rather dated Loaded-style 'a'itoode'. Makes Layer Cake look like it was written by Tolstoy.
I'd personally steer clear from any film that described itself as having 'More swearing than Scarface, more guns than Goodfellas and more cocaine than Casino'
'cos as we all know, it's Goodfellas for swearing, Casino for guns and Scarface for cocaine, which means that what they said basically amounts to 'it's quite a mediochre identikit gangster film

Mark Lawson and Co. on Radio 4's "Front Row" gave it a thumbs up.
Come to think of it, one of the things they really liked was the accurate depiction of the early 1980s fashion and music ... which may go over the head of the lucky yoofs of today who weren't there to witness it

I saw it the other night, I've gone right off all the usual cockney 'ard bastid capers, but thought this was good. The music and costume make it without doubt, the stories thin on the ground and the endings bleeding obvious. If you go in with your tongue in cheek you'll enjoy it, it also stars a ropey 107 SL, nice 928 and an unchavved XR3i cab
