New Times (L.A.) -
While you think you're watching just another in a series of British gangster films, you may suddenly realize that you're watching what is, thus far, the year's best horror movie.

Los Angeles Times -
Taut, corrosive and compelling, Gangster No. 1 has the galvanic appeal of "Little Caesar" and "Scarface" in its full-sized portrait of a brilliant but twisted and savage criminal.
|
|
Entertainment Weekly -
A canny, derivative, wildly gruesome portrait of a London sociopath who's the scariest of sadists, in part because he's also a very courtly one.
|
|
Portland Oregonian -
There's a touch of second-rate playwriting about it that imparts a flattened feel to the end of an otherwise crackerjack picture.
|
|
Chicago Sun-Times -
This conclusion is too pat to be satisfying, but the film has a kind of hard, cold effect.
