In Reply to: 'Sexy Beast' and 'Croupier' should feature in that list as well along with numerous Japanese gangster flicks. posted by Tony D. on September 15, 2010 at 10:35:04:
I like both, but I particularly like "Sexy Beast" for Ben Kingsley's over-the-top performance.
For Brazilian films, I like the gangster-in-the-making film "Pixote," about juvenile criminals, with "City of God" a distant second.
I am not up on Yakuza films, if you have some recommendations, I would love to hear them.

- Yakuza? Any of the Beat Takeshi films. Also, Miike's films are justly revered in Japan. nt - tinear 20:40:35 09/15/10 (0)
