#The Long Good Friday

[yeahiwasintheshit]

Watched ‘the long good friday’ last night and man Bob Hoskins is a great actor. It’s such a compelling story of crime and greed and responsibility and a really sexy young pierce brosnan. lol Hellen mirren is also in it and she is fantastic. Don’t want to say too much about the story cause it takes twists and turns that are exciting to watch. I knew it was like a crime story but didn’t know anything else, other than the accents are VERY tough sometimes and if you’re like me need the closed captions on to understand wtf they’re saying lol eventho it was released in 1980 it has that very 70s feel. And the soundtrack or score is so good. It really compliments the scenes. Def recommended. And will prob end up watching again at some time

November 1980. Bob Hoskins channels the spirit of Edward G. Robinson in this engrossing British crime drama about an ambitious Cockney gangster who's preparing to take his business international with the help of his savvy mistress (Helen Mirren), only to have his organization start to crumble beneath him at the worst possible moment, for reasons he doesn't understand until it's far too late.

Flavorful, tough, and dynamic, anchored by the charismatic performances of Hoskins and Mirren. Among the cast of familiar British character players, watch for a young Pierce Brosnan in a small but very significant supporting role. (The American gangster with whom Harold and Victoria are trying to do a deal is played by Eddie Constantine, a one-time crooner who became famous for starring as Peter Cheyney's hardboiled detective Lemmy Caution in a series of French films of the fifties and sixties, and in Godard's ALPHAVILLE.) CONTAINS LESBIANS? No, although Harold is surprisingly open-minded about his gay associates. VERDICT: Satisfyingly solid, and one of Hoskins' best.
