Top badass moment? In a film like this it's hard to find true badass behaviour, as they're all basically, em, (tries to think of word to use that's acceptable here, but gives up), twats. However, I was impressed with the bravery of the group that crossed the road outside King's Cross Station in London. Anyone knowing the six lanes of traffic there should now have a grudging respect for them (the actors anyway), as most of the cars were clearly not driven by stunt people. 0 cats. 0 decapitations.

Great film.

Funny & entertaining, but not overly realistic film about Football violence. Oldman completely carries the film with a fire and brimstone performance that makes use of the sharp script. Clarke does what he does best & directs an engaging low budget drama, that takes essential truths from a real life violent culture, but does not give a truely accurate depiction of Hooliganism. Still, it's miles ahead of crap like "Green Street", even if it's not as shocking now, as it would have been circa 1988!

Oldman is so angry he might as well be spitting fireballs.

Alan Clarke is truly cinema's foremost authority on hooliganism in all its forms, and The Firm is perhaps his masterwork on the subject. It's so tight, so sharp, so painful to watch... The cast, led by Gary Oldman, is marvelous.
