Sequence shots: Long Good Friday final scene

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9SG-zYvPjk

One of the films I watched at university was The Long Good Friday which features a very powerful and successful long shot at the end of the film. Audiences see the male lead, Harold, confident in his success against other enemies yet as he gets into a car and finds it to be those against him taking him hostage, there is a very long shot to end the film. This shot lasts at least 25 seconds and the close up shows all of the emotion in the character's face as he realises his defeat; we see his shock, confusion and anger all in this very long shot. We also see a long shot of the enemies in the front of the car giving him angry stares but also full of confidence that they defeated him.
