THE LONG GOOD FRIDAY, BRITISH GANG STORY
DONT be flustered by the beginning of The Long Good Friday, the rough-edged British gangster film that opens today at the Baronet. If you cant make sense of the first scenes, you wont be alone. John Mackenzie, the films director, has plenty of flair for etching disturbing portraits of rich, modern-day London hoodlums operating in a 30s Chicago style. When one character in the film invokes the St. Valentines Day Massacre, the reference is a very fitting one. Though its plot contains much thats new, The Long Good Friday is a swift, sharp-edged gangster story in a classic mold. For all his skill with action and atmosphere, Mr. Mackenzie isnt nearly as good at holding the plot together, or even at keeping the audience abreast of whats going on. Even after its intrigue has been explained, the movie has no shortage of loose ends. But that isnt the major drawback it sounds like. The Long Good Friday has a lot to recommend it, chiefly in the fine performances of Bob Hoskins, as an underworld kingpin, and Helen Mirren as his very shrewd, curiously admirable partner in crime.
