Plot
There can only be ONE.

"Fascinating" (The Hollywood Reporter), and "sensational" (Los Angeles Times) this bold, innovative thriller chronicles the bloody, single minded climb of a barbarous crime lord to power. Starring Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange), Paul Bettany (A Beautiful Mind), David Thewlis (Naked) and Saffron Burrows (Deep Blue Sea), Gangster No. 1 enters the psyche of an unrepentant mobster… and reveals the madman within.

Bettany gives "a brilliantly eerie, star-making performance" (American Film Institute) as a ruthless mobster who slugs, claws and kills his way to the top. But when he learns that his former mentor (Thewlis) he put in prison is about to get out, this self-made mobster must not only face a man whose life he ruined… but the twisted remnants of his own demented conscience as well.
