The Long Good Friday is a British gangster picture that's somewhat similar to
The Godfather but is more
concerned about finding out who the mole is for sabotaging the leader's potential deal.
That being said, it's not exciting to watch. However, Bob Hoskins, who died a few months ago, is terrific. Hence, he's the
sole reason why the film is watchable. But my preference is Mona Lisa, which
is better, having netted Bob Hoskins a much-deserved Oscar nomination.
All in all, I wish that The Long Good Friday was more interesting.
