From start to finish you will find The Firm very enjoyable, a killer soundtrack,flash clothes and very good feel for being back in the eighties thats sure to conjure up some nostalgia. Nick Love makes a humorous and attractive film which also packs a punch in delving into football hooliganism throughout the eighties. One thing that its lacking though is a real introduction into the casuals,the main rival (Yeti) isn't present enough and as tough as he is meant to be, and the only two characters that stand out are Bex and Dom with their very funny and dramatic relationship,the other boys in their firm are quite poorly presented too they have a handful of lines and are therefore wasted characters that would add a more overall feel to the hooligans. But if you can get over this minor fault, you will enjoy the fights(their brilliant),the insight into hooligan life and being back in the eighties(a scorching soundtrack). Enjoy Nick Love's finest work yet.
