Gareth Evans doesnt waste any time telling us what kind of showGangs of Londonis going to be.
Evans seems to be saying.
That bit of the old ultraviolence was me, andGangs of Londonis me too!
Finn Wallace (Colm Meaney) is dead.
His driver, Jack (Emmett J. Scanlan), is missing.
What else can I do?
Cut to one week earlier!
But at this point, the deed is already halfway done.
Darren doesnt pick up Ioans frantic phone call telling him to stop and walk away.
Ioan smashes his car into Finns bodyguard Jack in his desperation to gather Darren and escape.
And one week later, it seems like Sean has found, and killed, Ioan.
And Im not sure yet if we can consider Luan trustworthy.
(Aside from, you know, partially stealing some of Jims pay.)
Everything is a weapon!
Evans shoots this with his customary long takes and herky-jerky angles, and the result is immersive and bone-crunching.
What secrets can Jack share with Elliot that he wouldnt with the Albanians?
Looks like the war has already begun.
Anyone else think of Gandalf fighting the Balrog with that shot of Ioans burning body falling downward?
In terms of hard facts, we dont know much about Finn yet or, honestly, about Sean.
Is it really appropriate for him to take over when Ed and Alex are right there?
Finn was a powerful man, but was he a good man?
Leave it to Filch and Walder Frey to deliver the series most blatant racism so far.
I need theGangs of Londonscore immediately.
Those deep synths and the little trilling musical cue when Elliot advances upon Besmir?
Yes, hey, thank you, composers Aria Prayogi and Fajar Yuskemal!
(They also worked with Evans onThe Raidfilms.)
