Highly recommended. Bob Hoskins, in particular, is great.
This and Get Carter strike me as two essential Brit Crime
movies,
Sorta speaking of which, when I first saw Lock, Stock and Two
Smoking Barrels, I had the impression that Guy Ritchie was a
UK Tarantino, piecing together scenes from various Brit crime
movies to come up with a new film. However, due to my limited
knowledge of those films, I felt that I was probably missing
many of the references. So can anyone recommend other Brit
crime movies worth seeing?

ps -- Long Good Friday trivia -- Hoskins was sampled by Big
Audio Dynamite on their first album; and look for a very
brief cameo by Pierce Brosnan near the end.
