What they share
Theyboth carry the cult, dread, neon soaked mood tags, and they sit in Crime / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Midnight Run, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Long Good Friday is
London docks burning under a March wind, the rain turning everything slippery and black. The city’s biggest criminal plans a legit empire with American gold until a bomb blows apart his world on the night they arrive to seal the deal. John Mackenzie’s Thatcher-era thriller lets you taste the sawdust before the execution.
