Godfather, goodfellas, king of new york, the departed, casino, once upon a time in america, al capone, public enemy, the untouchables , angels with dirty faces , etc etc
what have we got ? get carter and long good friday?
or tv series they got sopranos weve got? eastenders lol..were a joke
all our gangster movies consist of is meathead cockneys who all look and sound like grant mitchell with absolutely no charisma , no intelligence , etc
the american ganster movies are complex rich multi layered, with incredibly rich brilliantly drawn out characters....brit gangster films seem to think all you need to be a gansgter boss is a gun or a knife.....a gangster boss of serious wealth must also possess tremendous charisma, emotional intelligence, he must be respected and feared by all
we havent got a clue how to make anything other than narrow predictable parochial little englander gangster films though no one outside the bowbells would want to see

yeah i do. a lot of them are low budget and not known but are more real than most of the u.s ones. thats what i like to see. something like as good as some of those you mentioned but with british realisim. which we do best.
the problem with u.s movies and shows is they water everything down.except for the language . never understood the controversy of reservoir dogs when our movies are far more violent in one scene than that whole movie. what i mean is imagine those films with our grit or our grit and their budget. its not all cockney gangsters though lock stock snatch are awesome
lol@eastenders reality tv killed any chance we had of making a sopranos or breaking bad. both are great shows but watered down violence and language.
