Nick Love's attention to detail is usually spot on (The Business), but not here. Think he's tried too hard to get it right, and lost his way.
Too many tracksuits for a start. Usually only bought the tops back in the day, worn with jeans and expensive trainers, rarely the full get up.
And in my day, you never went tooled up with claw hammers and baseball bats either.
Cant beat the original. The ending was a bit far fetched but the rest of the film was more accurate.
Stu, agreed re: the full tracksuits lol - jeans all day long. Will still watch it but it hopefully won't make me cringe, like I said think it it trying to be a caricature, over the top and theatrical rather than an actual reflection of the fashions and reality of it all.
