- Thread starter BIGDENNIS10UK
- Start date
And if you want to watch a movie that pretty much deconstructs the mob/gangster life I recommend watching Outrage.
A Japanese flick with Takashi "Beat" Kitano. Slow as fukk but still interesting. Ending will have you like

The Town
1. A Prophet
if i was a studio exec. i would be remaking this for sure
2. Departed
Scorsese/Leo/Damon/Nicholson nough said
3.The Town
Afflack went from being a joke to a great director
4. Drive
Stylish, not a great script, but very rewatchable.. Great cast
5. No Country For Old Men
Arguably the best, I just cared more about the main characters in the other 4 flicks
ones below the radar that are good
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead.... PSH a great actor
What Doesnt Kill You... another film with Ethan Hawke not great, but a realistic little crime flick

An American adaptation?
Would be a hard thing to do since U.S. prisons are different from France's prisons. Like the day leaves would have to be axed out. The would need a lot of work around that would make it a very different movie.
Movie was awful.
Real
Location: Under Your Skin
wrong.
If that movie were a song.
American Gangster - Russell Crowe Ft. Denzel Washington.
Terrible movie with a bunch of wasted screen time on court room custody battles of a character nobody was even interested in.

yeah you are right, didnt think it through
The hype was sickening too. It was a sub par film no doubt. If you add in the ridiculous hype it received, it was horrible.Anyway, to answer the question

And it's absolutely ridiculous to think that Russell Crowe carried that movie.
It's also ridiculous to think the whole movie was in a court room, when actually that setting was only in the last 15mins.
Spaceman Piff
Superstar
i'm guessing he meant a history of violence.
2 foreign movies..
gomorrah
a dirty carnival
Anyway, to answer the question
vincent cassel playing a goonie goo goo?
downloading now
kinda OT, I wanted to make a thread about it but never found the time, so I'm gonna say it here. The Untouchables is the most overrated gangster movie of all fukkin time. It's not even a good movie, its awful. Kevin Costner was terrible, and the story was so fukkin inaccurate that it bordered on comedy. The roof top scene...fukk it, the entire courtroom scene was a straight up joke. Why is that movie so highly regarded?
and how the fukk did Sean Connery win an oscar for that role?
hate to see who he was up against
Bruce LeRoy
All Star

This.. plus we already got American Me. That' basically covered the prison/street criminal system here.
