''The Business'' is a 2005 British film written and directed by Nick Love (yes, ''[[Series/TopGear that]]'' one). It stars Danny Dyer, Tamer Hassan, Roland Manookian (all three actors of whom appeared in the director's previous film, ''[[Film/TheFootballFactory The Football Factory]]''), Geoff Bell, and Georgina Chapman.
Frankie is a young everyman living in the South East of London during the [[UsefulNotes/MargaretThatcher Thatcher era of the 1980's]] (specifically 1984). He has little hope of ever making anything of himself - yet, he dreams of "being somebody" and escaping his lonely, dreary lifestyle. After severely beating his mother's abusive boyfriend, he becomes a fugitive, and through family connections escapes to the Costa del Sol. His job: to deliver a bag containing money to "Playboy Charlie", an expat and criminal-on-the-run, a suave and dapper man who runs his own nightclub. Impressed by Frankie's honesty in not opening the bag, Charlie begins to takes a liking to him, and introduces him to his business associates, including the psychopathic Sammy - ultimately inviting him to remain in Spain and work as his driver. The things that follow will draw Frankie into a wild, flamboyant underworld of drugs and change his life forever...
