Ex-Gangster watches Gangster No.1

[@vantheman1238]

Stephen, you come across as such a genuine man. Have to say I am fascinated by how you got to where you got too. I’ve commented before on here and I should have come and watched your show. Would love to come and listen to you live. I’ll go online and check out when you’re next doing a live show. You’re a good man 👍

[@AlexDuggan68]

Great film. You dont have to be big to instill fear in others, you just have to be fearless.

[@nez9751]

You dont have to big or fearless, the fear is already there

[@littleghostfilms3012]

Or compartmentalize your fear, and strike when the opportunity arises. Not the life for me, but it's thrilling on film

[@Mrtwowongs]

Big helps though……

[@davekennedy6315]

Gangster No.1 is THE greatest British gangster film ever made! By FAR!

[@tirednsleepy44]

Glad you covered this one, it’s one of my favourites. Plenty of artistic licence on any form of real life, but tells a good story in the time it has. Think I enjoy it so much because it doesn’t follow the standard template where people try to imitate an early guy ritchie movie.

[@paulmanners8736]

A flawed film but totally watchable . I love this film so much. One of the best films of the early 2000s.

[@mikebreslaw9651]

first off i love this movie. and the second thing is I find it fascinating when an old school gangster can put the whole thing into perspective. thanks !

[@jackdavies5271]

Great review Stephen god bless mate happy new year keeping going .

[@totalbeefcall579]

Love your insight, Stephen. Every street has a memory. Yes, sir.

[@stephenjones853]

Proper genuine guy 💯👊❤️✌️

[@martinobyrne9129]

Awesome as per usual Steve. Can’t wait to see your story on film

[@Ghost-of-a-man]

Good to see another Review Stephen. Happy new year.

[@DelightfulCabezonFish-ni9iu]

Stephen is a hottie and a lovely gent. 💙

When he makes the tea with tap water 😂😂😂

[@shuhebali9606]

Also don't forget when dude is always ready to fight with his vicious look at his opponent

[@caeserornothing]

Took he forever to find out that camel coat is played by Rick Grimes from walking dead!!

[@TheDeathBeatsOfficial]

Steve, please consider doing a reaction to Love/Hate. It's an Irish gangster drama from the 00s which in my opinion is better than The Sopranos and Peaky Blinders. Cheers!

[@bladerunner2255]

Maybe peaky but not sapronos

[@TheDeathBeatsOfficial]

@@bladerunner2255 It took me a while to accept the fact that Love/Hate is better than The Sopranos. It's also worth checking out KIN which is another Irish gangster show made by the producers of Love/Hate. It's heading for Netflix which is great news. Cheers!

[@xxczerxx]

It's good but nowhere near the Sopranos lol

[@billybattsshinebox8559]

Better than the sopranos paaahaaaahahaaaah

[@TheDeathBeatsOfficial]

@@billybattsshinebox8559 So you've seen it then?

[@gallosierra]

Can't wait to see Stephen's story on film, I can see Taron Egerton and Craig Fairgrass playing the younger and older versions of Stephen!

[@hashnoodle-mu1zo]

Hey Steve I just wanted to say I watch all your content, peace and respect everytime

[@alanburns3738]

Great as always brother 👊🏻💙 I know it’s not a British movie but watch The Revolver… it’s a very smart movie and I think you’ll love all the quotes “The only way to get smarter is by playing a smarter opponent.” Fundamentals of Chess- 1883… I hope 2024 is the best year in your life “so far” 👊🏻😊💙 gent as always - peace and love from Northern Ireland 💚 keep up the good work - Burnsy 💪🏻🙏🏼👍🏻

[@KennyRigby-pd1vv]

Great watch Stephen heppy new year 👍

[@KingEdwardtheTurbulentNeill26]

I'll have to buy this film to watch, good fellas is another good film.

[@JimBow-d2y]

One of the best British crime films.

[@GiantHaystack]

Firstly, i apologise. Only just stumbled across your channel (now subscribed), have you considered doing an Alan Clark series? Made in Britain, Scum (TV and Cinematic released), The Firm etc.

[@wakinyanredwolf6949]

I would love to see you react to Casino sometime.

[@Hermankobold]

Most underrated movie of all time

[@johntaggart5270]

I remember this flim, brilliant ❤

[@Floyd1138]

I'm Superman! King fucking Kong! I can pick you up and throw you a million miles. I'm number one.

[@irh1738]

Defo one of my favourite films

[@ih8hertz1]

The thing most gangsters forget is that there's always a bigger gangster than them watching all the time

[@littleghostfilms3012]

I get the impression that gangster life was/is? like chess with wolves. Just a thought. Great review by a fella who's been there, done that, and lived to tell the tale.

[@DeutscheCarFan]

if you are really interesting in different crime cultures you definitly should watch movie "Жмурки". i don't shure if it has an english translation but it has a lot of black humor and show's some part of russian life in 90's.

[@michaelscarlino1590]

The greatest movie of all time

[@chelseatv9880]

Reading your book Tony from Bolton

Jamie foreman asked me out wish i said yes lolx

Me to.

[@honeysuckle4537]

Your a Hansum, clever, likable guy xxx

[@xxczerxx]

I think what sets this film apart is that it presents a protagonist that is shown as a complete psychopath, with zero morals or compassion. He comes across like a serial killer more than the traditional criminal archetype (particular his sadism) where they usually have some human dimension. They don't make ANY effort to try to make him charming or loveable...rather, the antagonist of the movie (Freddy Mays) is the one who is shown to be capable of empathy/love, but that's his weakness. In that regard, it's closer to psychological/horror than a traditional crime movie, akin to Noghtcrawler or American Psycho.

Favourite Film

[@robertolopez6416]

Gangster No.1 He never looked back because he is the back. A Demon walking on earth with the only Fear dying Again. The ending of this film was the only fictional part. Everyone Must have a second chance.

[@nickmullerITFC78]

NEVER HERD OF THAT FILM I GIVE IT A WATCH I ENYED YOUR VIEW OF THE FILM 👍👍🔵🔵⚪️⚪️🚜🚜

You should meet my Dad. He used to work for the Richardson's and dated Reggie Krays ex-gf. He was a bit of a naughty boy back in the day.

Wishing you a happy new year.

[@TG-oo9se]

Agreed

[@AlexMackenzie-nx5qq]

Decent film but slips well into homoeroticism towards the end, but seemed a bit unnecessary to the plot for me

[@rickhook7269]

Proper man who has walked the walk .

[@mickymondo7463]

I rather think a review of the iconic Get Carter with Michael Caine is long overdue, I rankThe Long Good Friday and Get Carter as the best two films of the genre

[@mickymondo7463]

I'd be interested on your take regarding The Bank Job movie, which is allegedly based on true events relating to the acquisition of some photos, and indeed one of the protagonists was hanged in 75 I believe for one of two murders commited at the time

[@eldoncollins7254]

Hanging was abolished in the late 60's.

[@mickymondo7463]

@@eldoncollins7254 In Britain hanging was indeed abolished, but hanging was not abolished in Trinidad which is where the individual concerned was hanged for the murder of Joseph Skerrit

@@mickymondo7463 Fair enough, I got it wrong. 👍

[@mickymondo7463]

@@eldoncollins7254 No worries, it is a very interesting story that the film is based upon and to date nobody has been arrested for the robbery, allegedly the robebry was organised by the security services to retrieve compromising photos of Princess Margaret whilst on holiday in the Carribean held by Michael X and used to keep him out of jail on several occassions by blackmailing the British establishment, the fallout involved various corrupt coppers being exposed along with some notables oft he Soho underworld, it is well worth a watch

I’m really not sure what you’re all about. Profiteering from past demeanours? A reformed “Category A” prisoner? I dunno.
