Walls  Jacko was heavily involved in the Business as a 'consultant'...his son played the character with the  kebab gag😁
I thought it was a good effort overall, let down with the over the top  lairy clobber and lingo...tried to hard on both.

No idea what you are rambling on about tbh. of course the best 'bits' are in trailers, so what is your point, you never watch full films and only trailers?
 
OK. In simple terms.

If you watch a trailer and are not overly impressed by what are almost certainly the best bits, you have learned not to waste your time watching the whole thing. Unless of course you wish to waste your time in that way.
Stop talking bollocks. Most film trailers have snippets of the best bits. I have seen Marching Powder and most of the best bits aren't in the trailer. So either go and watch it or don't. Nobody cares. 
 
 
I'm sorry. Have I been rude about your favourite film?

That's why I ALWAYS watch trailers.

They regularly put the best bits in the trailer. Tells you all you need to know about the rest of the film.

Is there any possible reason to need to watch the whole film now?

I also watched the remake of the Firm recently which bought back some memories particularly of the music and fashion of the time.

Seen it. 

It's not The Godfather, I'll say that.... But then again, nobody said it would be. I mean, if you like your footy / hooligan films, and like getting on it (or used to) then you will like it. Dyer is decent. It's a decent enough story.... Laugh out loud funny is places. 

Worth a couple of hours at the flix.
