What critics compared Gangster No. 1 to
Paul McGuigan ( Gangster No. 1 , The Reckoning ) directs this slick con game, which works for large portions, not because of brains, but thanks to its color and style.
If the script's flaws are distracting, however, its assets are still considerable, and McGuigan develops them with the same expert visual gymnastics that made his Gangster No. 1 so compelling.
