Usual Suspects, The
zondag, februari 7th, 2010|
IMDB rating: 8.70 Plot: After a waterfront explosion, Verbal (Kevin Spacey), an eye-witness and participant tells the story of events leading up to the conflagration. The story begins when five men are rounded up for a line-up, and grilled about a truck hijacking (the usual suspects). Least pleased is Keaton (Gabriel Byrne) a crooked cop - exposed, indicted, but now desperately trying to go straight. The cops won’t leave him alone, however, and as they wait for their lawyers to post bail, he is talked into doing one more job with the other four. All goes tolerably well until the influence of the legendary, seemingly omnipotent “Keyser Soze” is felt. Although set in the modern day, it has much of the texture of the forties, plus suspense, intrigue (a fairly high body count), and lots of twists in the plot. |

Good Mafia/Mob Movies?
Hi, so far I know off:
1) Godfather
2) Godfather 2
3) Scarface
4) Goodfellas
5) Carlito’s Way
6) Casino
7) A Bronx Tale
Once Upon A Time In America
And a few others like Donnie Brasco, Mobsters and Untouchables, which I didn’t really like. I’m looking for movies made after the 70’s and not before. For the love of god, the only good mafia movie from the 70’s was Godfather.
Movies like The Usual Suspects and Pulp Fiction/Reservoir dogs don’t really count. I’m talking more about Goodfellas/Casino/Bronx Tale type mob movies.
Any advice?
American Gangster? Naah.. I’m looking for more italian then anything… Again, something along the lines of Bronx Tale/Goodfellas/Casino.
American Gangster?

Trust me you’ll LOVE this movie "We own the night" - It’s a newer movie, and has to do with the New York Police Department and Russian Mob. One of the best movies I’ve ever seen, I’m sure you’ll appreciate it.

The Departed kinda involves that, it’s pretty good. Boondock Saints and Boondock Saints II, also. Gangster Wars is alright, but not one of my personal favs. And then of course there is the Sopranos, it’s not a movie but heh, still good.
