White-collar soccer hooligans are not a made-up phenomenon but, set to the music of Perry Como, there is an air of irreality to their presence in The Firm. Bex (Gary Oldman) is an estate agent, husband and father. Plus, 'e's got 'n A-level in sociology. Only his wife, Sue (Lesley Manville) is on to him: she knows he's a walking razor. Bex and his spoiled-boy friends are suffering from PMT (pre-match tension)-not before a soccer match but before a car-park rumble that will decide who will be matched. Bex's opposite number in the rival gang is the appropriately named Yeti (Philip Davis). Their caveman antics are amusing-only because Oldman and Davis are superlative actors-but fear mounts (in us). Blood will flow from beneath the blazers tonight. "The Firm is very funny and lethal (a mixture characteristic of Clarke) and only incidentally does it expose England as hardly fit for living." (David Thomson)
