Just starting on Flim 4 - Bob Hoskins at his brilliant best and a fascinating look at Docklands in London on the cusp on redevelopment

Great film. Very much of its time. One of the best closing scenes in cinema history.

Brilliant. Apparently brosnan and Hoskins weren't in the taxi at the same time either, brilliant music. Hoskins imagined in his head the story when they filmed the close up of his face, great realisation

Its kinda what would have happened if the Krays met the Russian Mafia and how out of their depth they would have been

I remember Bob Hoskins from On the Move up until his death - for me a much underrated actor

Yes, I hear Bob Hoskins talk about that scene on some talk show, Wogan most likely. They never met until years after that scene was filmed. Hoskins in London, Brosnan in LA. Incredible, given the intensity of the scene.

Can’t help thinking how much he reminded me of Alan Sugar in that last scene in tonight’s film.
