Top Rotten Tomatoes Critics: In many respects a conventional thriller set in London's underworld, The Long Good Friday is much more densely plotted and intelligently scripted than most such yarns. full review

Variety Staff, Variety

I have rarely seen a movie character so completely alive. Shand is an evil, cruel, sadistic man. But he's a mass of contradictions, and there are times when we understand him so completely we almost feel affectionate. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Though its plot contains much that's new, The Long Good Friday is a swift, sharp-edged gangster story in a classic mold. full review
