“…a rabidly engaging, complex melodrama, brimming over with moxie.”
The Current

“Hoskins’ bullish, black-comic Napoleonism makes this movie: pugnacious, sentimental, a cockney Cagney.”
The Guardian

“A swift, sharp-edged gangster story in a classic mold. “
The New York Times

Harold Shand is at the top of a criminal enterprise in the heart of London, an organization that Harold sees threatened by internal and external forces over the course of a long Easter weekend. Bob Hoskins and Helen Mirren star in the quintessential British gangster film that features Pierce Brosnan in his first on-screen appearance. Screening in 35mm.
