This film will blow you away.. is the tagline, but I was left very underwhelmed after watching my copy of The Business DVD.
As a fan of Danny Dyer I felt compelled to watch this film, and I'm sure fans of the genre such as The Football Factory and Green Street will have also wanted to give the film a look. It is unlike those films though, and makes those films look more football orientated than crime orientated like The Business.
Based in the 1980's, the film follows a character named 'Frankie' as he moves from South London to Malaga with nothing but a tin of money to deliver that will be the kick stand to his life of crime as he rises to higher and higher levels of his new gang lifestyle.
Sex, drugs, swearing and violence validates the 18 certificate for the film. It's clear that this film has been set for a certain audiance, and if you've never heard of Danny Dyer you're probably not that audiance. Whilst the film does past times, I found that even though it only lasted 91 minutes it dragged a bit and left me feeling that I overpaid for the 'previlege' of bringing this film to my home television.
I haven't explored the extra features on the DVD too much, but for those who do like the film you can experience an alternative ending as well as deleted scenes. The rest is very typical DVD stuff, with the trailer and photo galleries. If you watch the Making Of The Business, included on the DVD, you will see that the cast appear to have a lot of fun making the film with Danny Dyer walking around with his member hanging out.
Ladies may find that reason enough to buy the DVD, but lads will more than likely find that not even the film is reason enough to buy the DVD. Worth a watch, nothing more.
