The Business
I'm thinking in Cockney. This is what The Business has done to me - I can't pass a thought without adding FAHK to it somewhere in my head. Am I avin a fakkin larf? Too fakkin rite my sun. The Bizniss is a diemond flick and no mistaik. Any geezer wot sez utherwize will see the bizniss end of my fakkin shooter, gottit?
The Business is great fun - earthy British ex-pat hi-jinks with good acting and a zingy script. It's no Lock Stock, but it holds its own and deserves to make a few quid in a busy marketplace. Nice one. I enjoyed this film: I think the average moviegoer will enjoy it: Testosterone Satisfaction Rating: Heavy drug use, mucho violencio, plenty of FACKs and CANTs flying around, the briefest nipple exposure. To enjoy this film you should: dig the Brit-mobster thing.

Yes, well, enough of that. The Business of the title is the narcotics trade on the southern coast of
Spain, with all the associated highs and lows. Highs being largely chemically-induced, though sometimes financial,
lows being the constant danger of having a limb blown off by a coked-up hoodlum. Set in the 1980s, with a cracking
period soundtrack to boot, the cocaine trafficking business is in boom, with truckloads of money to be made for the
bad boys prepared to take the risks. Danny Dyer plays a young
trainee criminal who finds a home under the wing of successful rogue Tamer Hassan. Hassan and scary evildoer
Geoff Bell (also currently playing a nutter in 
Danny Dyer has been in a number of movie roles, but to me he's best remembered for providing the voice of Kent Paul in
the Grand Theft Auto video game series. Here he tones it down a little from the "awight me ol' china, hahz it hangin"
school (which was deliberately overblown in GTA so the American audience knew he was supposed to be a Londoner) but he's
still a broad
cockney sparrer and is very good indeed as young apprentice Frankie. The script is pebble-dashed with expletives, joining
the ever-increasing list of current films to pepper the c-word around with merry abandon. Somehow that word works so much
better in an English accent - both cockneys and plummy home counties toffs can deal it venomously, while in an American
drawl it sounds somehow sanitised. Whatever accent it's in, it's permeating society. This time next year, C**T will be
the new F**K, mark my words. But I digress. The script is truly excellent - funny and warm in equal measure while
retaining a high degree of realism, and it is this quality that gives The Business its great watchability.
