Synopsis
The Business (2005) is Nick Love's British crime thriller, free to watch online on iFILM. It's the 1980s, and a kid from a rough corner of South East London flees to Spain after battering his mother's abusive boyfriend. All he carries is a one-way ticket into someone else's world.
Frankie, played by Danny Dyer, only has to drop off a package — but the sharp-dressed gangster Charlie (Tamer Hassan) likes the lad and hands him the keys. Soon it's fast cars on the Costa del Sol, villas, cocaine and a code where a single wrong move costs far more than a prison stretch. Tracksuits, gold chains, sunburned faces and easy money that never stays easy.
Love shoots the whole thing as a loud, brash ode to the British gangster myth, packed with period slang, a pumping synth-pop soundtrack and serious '80s style. Fans of Guy Ritchie capers will feel at home here, only this one trades the wit for sun, swagger and real menace. Stream The Business (2005) online on iFILM.
