'Get rid of this Spanish Fly crap: I want black, red and chrome everywhere!'
Set in the gaudy, Thatcherite 1980s, this underworld yarn - a confident follow-up to Love's acclaimed Football Factory- follows the adventures of Frankie (Danny Dyer), a decent, if naïve lad from South London, who after carrying a suitcase filled with cash to Malaga, finds himself seduced by the lifestyle of the various petty crims living there. Taken under the wing of Charlie, he prospers - but temptation beckons, in the barely-dressed form of Carly (Georgina Chapman), who also happens to be the girlfriend of Charlie's psychotic partner Sonny. And Charlie, meanwhile, is doing a little too much of his namesake... Swaggering, rude, and funny as f***, this tale of friendship and betrayal looks terrific, boasts the 80s soundtrack of your dreams, and kicks serious butt.
