Goodfellas meets Scarface in this stylishly vicious East End saga with a stunning debut from Paul Bettany. The setting is Londons Soho in the 1970s, and Gangster comes to work for Freddie Mays (THEWLIS), the Butcher of Mayfair, and hes enjoying the job.
He likes the money, the girls, the suits, the power, and the violence.
Gangster is good at what he does, very good.
He frightens people and hes going to frighten Freddie Mays. When rival gang boss Lennie Taylor (FOREMAN) hatches a plot to kill Freddie and take over his territory, Gangster (McDOWELL) finds out about it and puts together a plan that will take out Lennie and Freddie at the same time.
With Lennie dead and Freddie inside, Gangster finds himself alone at the top with only one way to go.
The story of a deadly battle of wills played out by a gangland leader and a young man who emulates him to the point of psychosis and beyond. It is brutal, savage, compelling and utterly unmissable.
