Cockney gangster Hoskins has big plans that involve developing his East End Empire with the help of the Mafia. When mysterious rivals inflict a number of disasters, the bewildered wideboy reacts with vicious ruthlessness. A convincing thriller, The Long Good Friday is a fast-paced movie boasting a series of well-constructed set-pieces. It is very much of its time, although that bestows upon it a certain charm.
