I wish we could still make films like this! Pierce Brosnan's very first film appearance too!

Certainly one of the best British gangster films ever made--Bob Hoskins is superb--and I definitely prefer it to the slightly more recent "Gangster No.1" (2000), although that's also well worth seeing IMO.

One of the true underrated gangster movie masterpieces.

The final scene with Hoskins in the car is the finest piece of acting without dialogue ever, IMO. And the 80s synth soundtrack is awesome!

In the last scene the director was telling Hoskins the story (off screen) so Hoskings could pull faces while listening :-).
I liked the part where the American mafioso say somtheing like: "We don't deal with gangsters" .
