After watching Nick Love and Vertigo films such as Football Factory , Human traffic e.t.c , my expectations of " The Business" were going to be high, Fortunately Nick Love along with producer James Richardson has done it again , capturing the not so pretty reality of the drug business in the 80's.
Frankie played by actor Danny dyer is a young lad in his 20's on the run from the high-rise's of South London , in his attempt to keep his head low he finds himself on the Costa del sol with his new friend and ex-con the "Playboy" (Tamer Hassan). Before he realises he's part of the gang and the largest drug laundering organistion on the coast. Living the life of oraganized crime,woman and drugs what could possibly go wrong?
Cast also includes Geoff Bell as Sammy the "Playboys" business partner and life long friend.
This film is definitely worth the watch, it captures the 80's era very well from the extras to the amazing soundtrack and gives an insight into the luxury lifestyle of a drug dealer. If you're looking for a genuine peep into the true realities of drug crime in the 80's this film is for you....so enjoy!
The DVD also features the making of the business and lasts around half an hour in all , from interviews with the cast to discussions on clothing used.
An alternate ending and trailers of older Vertigo film productions and up and coming releases are also included on this dvd.
