Country: UK
Year: 1980
Duration: 114'
Harold is a small-time boss of the London
mob who thinks he has achieved success.
A last deal (a speculation in the
construction industry of the docks)
and he will be on top. But someone
puts a spoke in his wheel. A small classic
of British gangster movies, with Bob
Hoskins in a state of grace and Eddie
Constantine, the old tough guy.
A movie made of only bad guys
and a mirror of the times.
