	Crime and Gangster Films
		Gangster films are morality tales: Horatio Alger or 'pursuit of the American Dream' success stories turned upside down in which criminals live in an inverted dream world of success and wealth.
		Often from poor immigrant families, gangster characters often fall prey to crime in the pursuit of wealth, status, and material possessions (clothes and cars), because all other "normal" avenues to the top are unavailable to them.
		It wasn't until the sound era and the 1930s that gangster films truly became an entertaining, popular way to attract viewers to the theatres, who were interested in the lawlessness and violence on-screen.

	Gangster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A gangster is a general term, though frequently misused, for a career criminal who is, or at some point almost invariably becomes, a member of a violent crime organization, such as a gang.
		Gangsters often run their operations as businesses insofar as they offer a "product" or "service", albeit an illegal one, or, as is sometimes the case, a legitimate business operating as a front for criminal activity.
		Gangsters are also known for attempting to manipulate the outcome of civil institutions, such as court cases and political elections by various means, including such time-honoured favourites as bribery, corruption and intimidation.

	Crime film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		What's seen as the bleak nature of some of these source materials often led some in the film industry to attempt to "lighten" the story when it was translated into film.
		Gangster films typically focus on the power struggles within gangs rather than on the policemen who try to stop them (although there are exceptions, such as The Untouchables).
		The most common storyline depicts an individual's rise to power within the organization, followed by his betrayal and murder by the gang or being killed by police.

	Gangster No. 1 DVD film movie trailer review at The Z Review
		Gangster No. 1 tells the story in retrospect of Gangster, played by both Paul Bettany and, during his later years, Malcolm McDowell.
		The film shows the young gangster's desire for power as he is introduced into the 'gang' of London gangster Freddie Mays, the Butcher of Mayfair.
		Gangster No. 1 is not for the faint hearted, not for someone who disliked the more colourful words in the English language, of which there are plenty.

	DVD Talk Review: Gangster No. 1
		Gangster No. 1 shares with fellow "British gangster movies" Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels a distinctive visual style marked by fractured, stylized images, extremely mobile camera work, and a willingness to present events on-screen in a manner very different from what we'd call objective reality.
		Gangster No. 1 takes on an ambitious task, of portraying in a convincing manner the mental state of a character who, because of his psychopathic nature, will be alien to viewers.
		Gangster No. 1 also suffers from having to share the DVD space with a pan-and-scan version of the film; with only half the possible space available, the video quality is negatively affected, with a general lack of clarity throughout.

	Gangster
		Warshow argues that one way in which the gangster film resolves conflicts is through discord between the plot of the gangster film and its “tacked-on ending”.
		Indeed, Warshow believes “the effect of the gangster film is to embody this dilemma in the person of the gangster and resolve it by his death” (Warshow 133).
		These three aspects can be correlated with the individual’s unhappiness in society seen through his delight in sadism (id), the forced enthusiasm of the individual and the tacked-on ending as attempts to obey society’s rules (superego), and the use of narrative and the ritual view of communication to resolve these conflicts (ego).

		Gangster No. 1, set in the swinging underworld of 1960s South London gangs, follows the rise of Gangster (played by Paul Bettany as a young man and Malcolm McDowell when older, narrating his life story in flashback).
		Gangster is seduced by the thrill playing the part of Freddie's bodyguard but his connection to Freddie is cemented by envy, not loyalty.

		She's a gangster's moll, holed up in a small apartment in Seol while her boyfriend's on the run from the law, doing shady business across the globe.
		Gangster is what you'd appropriately describe as a character-driven drama, in which the tension and screenplay movement comes not so much from the basic plot as it does from the characters and their motivations.

	Movie Review : New find Kangna is surprise package in 'Gangster' - Music India OnLine
		As he shrieks and protests against the injustice of a justice system that turns his love into a mocking betrayal - the narrative tells us how difficult it is to take a moral stand on the question of right and wrong in the matter of love and morality.
		Stylishly shot by cinematographer Bobby Singh, "Gangster" is a gripping tale where all three principal actors turn in competent performances.
		Like Bhatt's early films, "Gangster" takes us to the darkest recesses of the human heart where the devil and the saint are slyly affiliated.

		Gangster's end is a fitting one, though perhaps a bit too slow at the very climax.
