Long Good Friday, The

Academy Award nominee Bob Hoskins delivers a ferocious, unforgettable performance as mobster Harold Shand, the all powerful boss of the London underworld, who beneath a gentrified veneer is all snarl and menace. On one fateful Good Friday, the day Harold is to close a crucial deal with an American organised crime group, Shand finds his empire suddenly under attack.

Somebody has killed two of his henchman, tried to murder his mother and blown his favourite pub to smithereens. And somebody's going to pay.

Oscar winner Helen Mirren (The Queen), tough guy icon Eddie Constantine (Alphaville), and Pierce Brosnan (in one of his first film roles)co star in this cult crime drama that critics compare to The Godfather and Scarface as one of the greatest gangster films of all time.
