The Business

During the '80s, a young man named Frankie dreams of escaping London's South East region, and his mother's thug of a boyfriend gives him just the opportunity. After beating up the abusive beau, Frankie runs off to Spain, where he lands a job delivering a package to the dapper Playboy Charlie, a gangster who takes him under his wing. Working as Charlie's driver, Frankie is immersed in a world of fast cars and pretty women -- but all the excess could be his undoing.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I found this by mistake and it was a surprisingly good movie, I had never heard of it and I am not familiar of the actors but it was a fun movie to watch.

THE BUSINESS is an appalling modern-day gangster film by Nick Love, the god-awful director behind the equally terrible OUTLAW. Starring Danny Dyer (who he?) and Tamer Hassan (who he?), this tells the tale of a couple of British gangsters and their rise to fame - and eventual downfall - in sunny Spain. It's like SCARFACE, but dumbed down for the chav masses.The movie is completely awful, and much of that is down to the nonsensical script. Characterisation is zilch, the dialogue is written by a guy with a tin ear (Love himself, unsurprisingly) and everything that happens is clichéd and predictable. There are occasional moments of suspense and promising scenes that lead nowhere, but the biggest disappointment is the climax, where everything peters into nothing instead of going out with a bang. It's one of those films where you hate all the characters and are hoping for a massacre along the way.The acting is bad too, but it doesn't really matter when the cast have absolutely nothing to work with in the profanity-laden script. Dyer can be passable given the right material (such as SEVERANCE) but he's out of his depth here and completely wooden, and the less said about Hassan the better, except that he's no actor. In any case, I've wasted enough time on this trash already - avoid it like the plague!

Frankie arrives in Spain as the driver of Charlie, a London Gangster who is living the life in the sunny country, were he is surrounded by beautiful women, alcohol, drugs and beautiful scenery.But, the more Frankie delves into this world, he finds himself seduced by the power and it doesn't take long for this to turn sour.Danny Dyer's not an actor, I particularly like to watch, but I have to say I thought he was very good as the cowardly Frankie, Tamer Hassan was brilliant as the cockney gangster show 'Kid Frankie' the ropes, he seems to have that 'Professional Hardman' role in his grasp, and don't expect him to let it go.Georgina Chapman is just beautiful as the seductress, who lures Frankie into this dark, glamorous lifestyle. Overall, the film is basically a comedy more than anything else, its not a gritty gangster flick, but a hilarious take on things, the sheep stealing, and downfall is just hilarious.

You don't need a brain to understand this. But saying that, it can lead to arguments. Many people enjoy films that are easy to watch while some seem to find it offensive to there intellectual brains. Not all films have to be on a serious note. The business doesn't try to be an scarface or an Godfather. Sure it has many references towards scarface but it doesn't want to be an classic, it just wants to entertain and that the most important factor of any film, entertainment.The film is cliché but it don't matter about that as the characters are entertaining. There not the most in depth characters you'll ever come across neither can you relate to them but the use of language that they often express can make situations humorous. The film is backed by an cool 80s soundtrack trying to hit the same notes as scarface. The soundtrack is easily forgettable. The cast also works well. Sure there not the greatest actors but there fun to watch and you totally know what to expect from them.On the other hand, some lines will make you cringe for example " he so hard even his nightmares are afraid of him". This is where Nick Love shows his weakness and immaturity. This is an line which an 13 year old would write. The narrating from Danny Dyer's character seems out of place. His tone of voice is totally contrasted from his attributes and body language. They don't fit together. I'm not an huge fan of Dyer's acting abilities but none less , he manages to entertain. All he needs is more roles like the Borstal boy rather than being type-casted.Overall the film is enjoyable to watch. It has no plot but that don't matter . Unless your one of those so called people with intellectual brains who thinks all films so be made just for them,if not then you have nothing to fear and should watch this film for the hell of it.
