	LORENZO CARCATERRA
		GANGSTER is a compassionate portrait of one man's fight against his fate -- and an unforgettable epic of a family, a city, and a century.
		The life of the gangster, who now lies dying in a hospital, is laid out in graphic, intimate terms as the narrator reconstructs the old man's life from his childhood in Italy through his years as a gangster in the thick of the New York crime underworld.
		The irony is that the old gangster's father had brought him to New York from the Old Country as a bambino, in the early years of the twentieth century, to get him away from the clutches of the Mafia that claimed the souls of children and the lives of men.

	The Gangster as Hero in Hong Kong Cinema
		As a result, American screen gangsters are often depicted as a threat to the social fabric of the nation and are not given much chance for redemption.
		Gangster fashion is also updated throughout the series, as the classic pin striped suits and greasy hair are replaced by trendy `90s Hong Kong street fashion, which consist of skin-tight latex and multi-coloured hair.
		In conclusion, considering the mammoth number of gangster films produced in Hong Kong over the past 15 to 20 years, it is understandable that an essay of such brevity cannot attempt to provide an exhaustive study of the genre as it evolved throughout that period.

	63319. Warshow, Robert. The Columbia World of Quotations. 1996
		The gangster’s world is less open, and his arts not so easily identifiable as the Westerner’s.
		Perhaps he too can keep his countenance, but the mask he wears is really no mask: its purpose is precisely to make evident the fact that he desperately wants to “get ahead” and will stop at nothing.
		Where the Westerner imposes himself by the appearance of unshakable control, the gangster’s pre-eminence lies in the suggestion that he may at any moment lose control; his strength is not in being able to shoot faster or straighter than others, but in being more willing to shoot.

	Gangster No. 1
		When a young gangster (Paul Bettany) starts working for gang leader Freddie Mays (David Thewlis), known as the Butcher of Mayfair, he dreams of being everything that Freddie is: smooth, sophisticated, impeccably dressed, always with the right women, and driving the fanciest cars.
		Paul McGuigan's GANGSTER NO. 1 is framed by scenes set in the present, where the aging 55, played with delicious villainy by Malcolm McDowell, narrates the tale of his younger self's rise to power in Soho in the late 1960s.
		Paul Bettany is a revelation as 55, who seems to enjoy a bit of the old ultraviolence now and again; when he tells a potential victim (or even a friend) to look into his eyes, it is hard for the audience as well not to be mesmerized--and scared out of their wits.

	Top Box Office Movies - Gangster No. 1
		The film opens with a stunning sequence in which a terribly miscast Malcolm McDowell retells his rise from a lonely soldier in a Crime Family to the head of the organization.
		Yet, in order to enjoy the film one must immerse himself or herself within the simple plot that is brought to the screen with a touch of elegance with Director McGuigan's stylistic nature and wit.
		While the film will not be hailed as one of the definitive gangster classics, it still is a good gangster film.

		As often occurs in gangster films, the seemingly legitimate white world is not as pure and pristine as it seems.
		But the upper-middle class white echelons are just as tainted and just as evil as the "gangster world." And the big trouble is: the whites just don't want to give minorities an equal share of the American pie.

	Screenwriting Central - Script Magazine \| The Screenwriting Magazine
		As per Hollywood "moral codes" of yesteryear, the tough-as-coffin-nails gangster always had to reveal himself to be a repentant, scared little boy when at last faced with the ultimate moment of truth and accountability for his many, bloody crimes.
		Cinema's gangsters of the past three decades depict an evolution of character exactly in line with the genre's evolution itself, and perhaps, too, with an American socio-moral descent.
		Another reason to pinpoint Tarantino as the third great renovator of the gangster genre is that he, unlike Coppola and Scorsese before him, is the first to successfully hijack key stylistic elements from other film genres (French new-wave, samurai, spaghetti Western, ghetto drama and a whole lot of comedy).

		The U.S. brigandish nature can be also proved by the fact that it is meddling in the internal affairs of other countries, assessing the "human rights situation" there with "human rights standards" of its own style and pulling them up over that issue as it pleases.
		It is due to the U.S. brigandish acts that the international arena witnesses the abnormal and complicated situation where justice and progress are trampled underfoot and peace and stability disturbed.

		The Commissioner is given free reign to eradicate the gangsters and a bloody full-scale police-gangster-politician war ensues.
		I liked how the film wasn’t partial to either side, and although much of the movie was a gangster tale, it didn’t portray the police as gratuitously evil, stupid, or one-dimensional — they are dedicated to their jobs in a world they have little control over, and they too have families and loved ones.
		Satya, however, portrays women differently than other gangster films where women are portrayed as burdens, excess baggage, the ball and chain, an obstacle to a man’s career, a hapless victim that is used for kidnapping and extortion, wrecker of brotherhood, and other tedious stereotypes.
