One of the best secret no one knows about movies of all time!!!!
I loved this movie soooo much! I was first introduced two thirds into
it and I was immediately ready to sit down and watch it at three in the morning staying up till five am. The way it is shot is like pure genius! There is a scene in it that is shot from the perspective of the person being murdered and I mean it is aw inspiring! Seriously if it weren't for the way this movie ended it it would have been a 10 on my voting. Point in fact though the ending isn't horrible it just leaves a little to be desired. NON-SPOILER ALERT about the ending, they use a different person for the main character as the older version, but everyone else plays themselves just with makeup....(Don't get me wrong the guy they got 'Malcolm McDowell' to play as the older gangster is the best narrator and therefore carries the movie, but it's just weird and very hard to over look) Not to mention Paul Bettany who is a genius in this movie as well! My god the man can play psycho! All and all a must watch and a pass on to any friend who is in the mood to see a great flick!!!!!. 
Untouchable
One of my favorite types of movies are crime dramas. However, Italian
Mafioso films have left me rather ragged (Casino was better than Goodfellas in my book, and the Godfather was a big disappointment -- second one was better). However, I've been constantly surprised and overjoyed with English crime dramas, and Gangster No. 1 is no exception, having completely blown me away. Slightly similar but mostly unlike the fellow films made by popular director Guy Ritchie, Gangster is the story of an absolutely madman of a gangster known as Gangster 55 who steals the reins of power away from his previous boss. But when this man is released from prison, 55 recalls his rise to power before he's forced to deal with the present. Gangster No. 1 is my first foray into the world of underground filmmaking. For a while now, I've only paid attention to well-rated movies out of mainstream (Scorsese, Kubrick, and the like), but with Gangster No. 1 starts a new path in life. This flick is well-acted, well-paced, and is pumped full of lots of enjoyable violence. Have a ball as you watch.. |
