If you loved The Reckoning, try Gangster No. 1

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Paul McGuigan, and they sit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Reckoning, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Gangster No. 1 is

HMP Pentonville cinder-winter, lock clatter. A grey-haired don learns Freddie Mays walks free after thirty years. His face cracks like old plaster. Teenage feet scuff East End cobbles, join Freddie’s mob, then slide the knife in. A post-Jules-and-Jim British gangster study, slicker than the rain it sluices down.
