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.
