"Taut, corrosive and compelling, Gangster No. 1 has the galvanic appeal of 'Little Caesar' and 'Scarface' in its full-sized portrait of a brilliant but twisted and savage criminal." | POS |
|
United States |
|
"A canny, derivative, wildly gruesome portrait of a London sociopath who's the scariest of sadists, in part because he's also a very courtly one." | POS |
|
United States |
|
"The psychological underpinnings give this picture a charged emotional atmosphere." | POS |
|
United States |
|
"It's Bettany's portrait of the monster as a young man that rivets attention. So remember the name, or don't. Just watch Bettany strut his stuff. You'll know a star when you see one" | POS |
|
United States |
|
"This portrait of a ruthless young hood in '60s London has several fine qualities but dilutes them with disorganized direction." | NEU |
|
United States |
|
"The movie's key asset is young Bettany as a worthy successor to the 'Clockwork Orange' tradition of McDowell. With Bettany, a star is born, even if his character is horrific." | POS |
