Marching Powder

Fri 7 March

The mercurial Nick Love returns with another chunky humorous dose of Dad-core, where geezers act like proper geezers, birds act like proper birds and moody types act proper moody. National treasure Danny Dyer is Jack, an aging, drug-taking hooligan who feels increasingly irrelevant in today’s society as he struggles to keep his family together.  

Hooked on the titular ‘marching powder’ and adrenaline, he struggles to resist the pull of his football firm. Then he’s arrested after some violent matchday ‘exploits’ and given six weeks to turn his life around or face a long spell in prison.
