Loosely adapted from Alan Clarke’s 1989 classic TV film, Nick Love’s
film is set earlier in the 80’s and retells a similar story to the original –
but from a different character’s point of view. The film centres on Dom, a
young wannabe football casual, who gets drawn into the charismatic but
dangerous world of the firm’s top boy, Bex.
Accepted for his fast mouth and sense of humour, Dom soon becomes one
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.
Humorous, heart warming and set to a killer jazz funk 80’s soundtrack,
The Firm is a classic coming of age story set amongst one of England’s most
revered tribes
