Friday Movie - The Long Good Friday (1980)

Bob Hoskins plays an ambitious London mobster who finds his crime empire rocked by a string of attacks, sending him on a ruthless quest to find out who’s responsible. Abetted by an ice-cool performance from Helen Mirren, The Long Good Friday is not only a gripping gangster thriller but also a vivid portrait of late-1970s Britain—a powder keg of cultural and political tensions on the verge of explosion. (1 hour, 54 minutes)
