John Mackenzie's rabidly engaging, complex gangster film concerns a dominant English racketeer, Harold (Bob Hoskins), who is about to change his image and go straight. While negotiating a deal with an American organised crime organisation to develop the barren Docklands section of London, his associates begin to turn up dead, and the tough businessman realizes that getting out will be more difficult than he had anticipated. This extremely tight thriller made Hoskins a star.
