Review of Gangster No. 1 (2000) by Felix T — 01 Mar 2008

Oh my goodness I cannot tell how much I am in love with this film, it has introduced me to a whole new genre of british mob gangster films. Paul Bettany is absolutly rivating as the no.1 gangster, I love the silent bits where you see him screaming but all you hear is a screech.

And the menacing look on his face when he's murdering a foe. I still don't udnerstand why people don't give Paul more praise for his genius work. Paul Mcguigan has created a work of art and his finest moment in the film is the fact that he decided to show the most gruesome murder in the film from the victims perspective, that is pure brilliance!
