Plot
It's 1968. Gangster (Paul Bettany) has come to work for Freddie Mays (David Thewlis), the Butcher of Mayfair, and he's enjoying the job. He likes the money, the girls, the suits, the power, and the violence. And Gangster is good at what he does, very good. He frightens people and he's going to frighten Freddie Mays. When rival gang boss Lennie Taylor hatches a plot to kill Freddie and take over his territory, Gangster finds out about it and puts together a plan that will take out Lennie and Freddie at the same time. With Lennie dead and Freddie inside, Gangster finds himself alone at the top with only one way to go. Gangster No. 1 is the story of a deadly battle of wills played out by a gangland leader and a young man who emulates him to the point of psychosis and beyond. It is brutal, savage, compelling and utterly unmissable.
