Time Out

The admittedly well-constructed set pieces are all too often diminished in effect by the uninspired camera-work.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews

A conventional Brit thriller that's moderately entertaining.

Sheer brilliance.

Variety

In many respects a conventional thriller set in London's underworld, The Long Good Friday is much more densely plotted and intelligently scripted than most such yarns.

Times (UK)

Although The Long Good Friday is firmly rooted in a very different era -- early 1980s Britain is another country entirely -- the film still feels fresh and uncompromisingly tough.

Little White Lies

The simple, almost Shakespearean moral is that nefarious deeds breed a climate of contempt, and that any success will always be tainted.

Guardian

Hoskins' bullish, black-comic Napoleonism makes this movie: pugnacious, sentimental, a cockney Cagney.

Chicago Sun-Times

I have rarely seen a movie character so completely alive. Shand is an evil, cruel, sadistic man. But he's a mass of contradictions, and there are times when we understand him so completely we almost feel affectionate.

New York Times

Though its plot contains much that's new, The Long Good Friday is a swift, sharp-edged gangster story in a classic mold.

Groucho Reviews

The screw-turning plot is great fodder for Hoskins and Mirren, who expertly calibrate their stressed-out character arcs. [Blu-ray]

Radio Times

Both an explosively violent thriller and a sharp evocation of the enterprise culture of the time.

Time Out

Has a shaky, peculiarly British charm that still makes it irresistible.
