Overview

In arguably his most iconic performance, the great Bob Hoskins delights as Harold Shand, an aspiring mob boss who simply cannot catch a break. Careering around the grubby streets and docks of 1980’s London, this visceral, highly charged and evocative portrait of underworld relations benefits from a superb cast of character actors, including Helen Mirren as Harold’s loyal but put-upon girlfriend.
