Collection of four gangster dramas. In 'The Town' (2010) Ben
Affleck directs and stars as Doug MacRay, one of four Boston
criminals who rob a bank. Doug falls for the bank's manager, Claire
(Rebecca Hall), who is distressed after the robbery and begins
dating her. With Claire unaware that Doug was one of the robbers,
their relationship continues while Doug plans his next job and
Claire co-operates with the FBI. Can Doug keep up the facade or
will the law finally catch up with him? In 'Get Carter' (1971)
Michael Caine stars as a hardened gangster returning to his home
town in search of the truth behind his brother's death. Though
originally from Newcastle, Jack Carter (Caine) has made his name in
London as a tough enforcer for crime boss Gerald Fletcher (Terence
Rigby). On hearing of his brother's death, Carter returns to
Newcastle for his funeral and to investigate his suspicion that his
sibling may have been murdered. After visiting local gangster Cyril
Kinnear (John Osborne), Carter is threatened and advised to head
back to London. Jack refuses and descends further and further into
the city's underworld as his investigations begin to pay off. His
search is merciless, unrelenting and fraught with danger and it
becomes clear that he will stop at nothing to exact his own brand
of justice. 'Gangster Squad' (2013) is set in the 1940s and '50s in
Los Angeles and is inspired by the real life story of vicious mob
boss Mickey Cohen and the LAPD officers who tried to bring him
down. After moving to LA from the East Coast, Cohen (Sean Penn) has
taken control of the town. A force to be reckoned with, he not only
has his gang to do his bidding but a number of policemen and
politicians are also under his command. Police Chief Bill Parker
(Nick Nolte) instructs Sergeant John O'Mara (Josh Brolin) to wage
war against Cohen and his men. With only a small squad which
includes his colleague, Jerry Wooters (Ryan Gosling), O'Mara
attempts to regain control of the city. Meanwhile, Wooters gets
involved with the mobster's girlfriend, Grace Faraday (Emma Stone),
which, if discovered, will only serve to enrage Cohen further.
'Goodfellas' (1990), directed by Martin Scorsese, follows Henry
Hill (Ray Liotta) as he rises through the ranks of the Mafia. Upon
turning FBI informant to help pay for his drug addiction, Hill
recalls how he got started in the Mob following the six million
dollar robbery of a Lufthansa cargo at a New York airport. Hill and
his partners, Jimmy Conway (Robert De Niro) and Tommy DeVito (Joe
Pesci), went on to rise through the ranks of the Mafia over three
decades, eventually eliminating Paul Cicero (Paul Sorvino), the
neighbourhood godfather who originally took Hill under his wing.
