These were the days days when the drugs trade in the uk was run by ex public school boys then when they started doing time the real hard men/bank robbers saw they were doing a quarter of the time for 10 times the money. Then it all changed.
That is reminiscent of the opening narrative of Layer Cake ;-)
The book was not a bestseller for nothing. The original script was very riveting and it was a shame that as per usual so much was cut from it. The film could have been better but the man himself was pleased with the end result and was charmed by the performance of Rhys Ifans (his buddy).
Still worth a watch.
