A Letter To: Nick Love

Dear Nick Love,
I recently watched your remake of the iconic British film from the 80's: The Firm.
I watched it all the way through and I have to say i was surprised.
Although, personally, I didn't find the original that great, it did its job in entertaining me for the duration of the flick, which it it did very well.
Your version however, was more a film loosely based on the original and, apart from character names, football team names and the odd location, there was nothing of the original there.... oh, the clothes, sorry, i forogt them, thats where all the budget went wasnt it.
All the scenes that made the film from the original have been completely changed and are now mere specks of rubbish compared to how they looked and felt in the original. Some examples of these are:
The scene where the child puts the knife in his mouth: You missed out all the panic and shock from that scene.
and
The scene where becks goes to his parents house, goes up to his old bedroom and gets the suitcase full of weapons out: instead we are given a dark dingy room that doesnt have kids posters and football posters all over the room and we have no idea that he is even at his parents house.
I can however be grateful that you did include Danny "Fackin" Dyer in this film.
Your Sincerely,
DJ Acroama.
P.S.
please stop making films about football hooligans, its old and boring now.
