Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2014

This. Movie. ROCKS!!! This became one of my all time favorites just recently. Violence, corruption, underhanded dealings and all with a very English rather than American organized crime flavor. Paul Bettany is AWESOME as a villain, ghostlike and sinister with his appearance and coloring as a small time hanger on in a pool hall who one day comes to meet a London gangster, Freddy Mays, who needs some more muscle to keep others in line. Paul (who is unnamed throughout this movie, but we assume he is Gangsters No 1) takes up with him, and becomes envious of Freddy's power and material things while Freddy admires the devotion and creative ways that the Gangster commits murder for him. Soon the Gangster is anxious, thinking that he wants to be in command and also wants Freddy out of the picture. He stands by and lets a lot of violence and corruption go down, and then murders Lennie Taylor (Freddy's chief rival) by hand with an axe in one of those most shockingly graphic murders ever caught on film. Then Freddy goes to jail, and the Gangster becomes the leader of his gang. For the next thirty years, the Gangster builds the empire and becomes more powerful than Freddy ever did. He's Number1.

The underline message here is that power corrupts and that life in the fast lane is full of a hundred million little seductions, and it's all damned sexy. And there's the right amount of sex and violence to make it all super cool.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Character Study...
Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2002

Who is Freddie Mays? This is the inherent question that must be asked when trying to learn more about Gangster 55. Is Freddie Mays really the "Butcher of Mayfair" as everyone calls him?
David Thewlis (Naked, Besieged, 7 Years in Tibet) pulls off a brilliant Oscar-worthy performance as Freddie Mays, adding some genuine depth and subtlety to one that could've easily been overacted. He also provides a good balance for the highly stylized filmmaking that is chock full of grainy shots. Malcolm McDowell also provides a very intense post-Clockwork Orange performance that could very well be Alexander De Large all grown up. Paul Bettany who plays the younger Gangster 55 carries the same kind of crazed intensity and jealousy very well. Bettany also played John Nash's imaginary roommate, Charles, in "A Beautiful Mind". It's possible Brian Grazer may have hired Bettany after seeing him in this movie.
So who is truly Gangster No. 1? Who holds the kind of power that everyone else envies? You will have to see for yourself... This movie is somewhat graphic with its violence, so people with no stomach for it should steer clear. Expect great acting, small laughs and very stylish photographic visuals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting choice of actors to play a gangster.
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2018

Paul Bettany seems like an unlikely actor to play the part of a gangster which made this one interesting to me and then Malcolm McDowell as the older version. I cannot remember whatever turned me onto this movie but it always stuck with me as disturbingly fascinating somehow... and yes, Bettany did pull it off very convincingly.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Gangster" Barely Misses Mark
Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2012
Verified Purchase
The dual themes of ambition and betrayal on display here are Shakespearean in scope. "Gangster No.1" is informed in equal measures by the British crime tradition and the work of Martin Scorsese notably "Goodfellas". The film traces the rise and fall of a nameless hood played as a young man by Paul Bettany and Malcolm McDowell in his later years. The first three-quarters of the film work splendidly charting the hood's rise. It's the latter part of the film that falters where events just rush past lacking in resonance. I think the success of the film depends on the two actors being in synch with one another. I find no fault with Bettany's performance. You find no problem believing that he could be McDowell in a younger incarnation. McDowell, on the other hand, as he chews the scenery makes it hard to believe he was once Bettany. David Thewlis, though, is terrific as the gentleman mob leader set up by Bettany's character. "Gangster No.1" is a film that falls short of its intentions but has to be admired for aiming high.

A must see for any fan of UK cinema and\or gangster flicks. This is certainly one of malcolm MacDowell ' s best films, which in and of itself makes it really important. The same could be said for Paul bettany. I can't say enough good things about it. It's truly a psychological thriller that challenges viewers through its intense storyline. Great movie!

Mi ha piacevolmente sorpreso, per la rappresentazione della criminalità inglese anni '60 (e di riflesso della Swinging London) e per la follia amorale e imprevedibile del personaggio di Bettany/Mc Dowell.
Film bello e cattivo come gli inglesi sanno ancora fare (gli americani meno).
