Product Description

 
John Mackenzie's rabidly engaging, complex gangster film concerns the demise of a dominant English racketeer, Harold (Bob Hoskins), who is about to change his image and go straight. While negotiating a deal with an American organized crime organization to develop the barren Docklands section of London, his associates begin to turn up dead, and the tough Cockney businessman realizes that getting out will be more difficult than he had anticipated. This extremely tight British thriller made Hoskins a star.

Political Fanaticism Trumps Mere Greed

Date of Review:  Oct 9, 2005
The Bottom Line: One of the best gangster films you'll ever come across.
Review: Looking for some high-voltage gangster action along with world-class performances and genuine thematic breadth? You'll find all that and more in John MacKenzie's 1980 winner featuring breakthrough performances by Bob Hoskins and Helen Mirren.

The Bottom Line: "The mafia?.... Ha!.... I've sh*t 'em! "
Review: This is the film which, in 1980 provided Bob Hoskins with his breakthrough performance as Harold Shand, head of a prosperous East End London Gangster Empire. The speech below conveys his dillema of the day.

The Long Good Friday *

Date of Review:  Aug 10, 2001
The Bottom Line: The essential British gangster flick that just edges Get Carter as the greatest of all time. Simply unmissable.
Review: My mission today is to introduce my trusted American friends to the greatest British crime flick of all time; the strange thing is, some of you have probably never heard of it.

Forget the hollow, stylized thrills of Lock, Stock And Two...

Crime Drama DVD - John Mackenzie's masterfully directed British crime drama features a star-making performance by Bob Hoskins as Harold Shand, a successful London gangster whose world falls apart over the course of one weekend. Shand controls the London docks and is planning a big real estate deal, financed by money from the American mob and given the okay by the London organization. His world is sweet -- he lives in a fancy penthouse, he owns a yacht, and has a sensitive and intelligent mistress. But suddenly a bomb explodes inside his Rolls Royce, another bomb destroys a pub he owns, and a third is found inside his casino. Shand can't understand who would suddenly want him dead, particularly over the Easter weekend, when representatives from the American mafia are coming into town to discuss investing in Shands's real estate project. - The Long Good Friday (DVD)
