There’s a certain attraction to the dangerous element of crime that makes the film genre so successful. The movie’s characters aren’t exactly saints and the things they’re doing aren’t exactly legal, but they are fun to watch. There are certain gems in the crime genre that are just too good to miss out on. So, if you’re a movie maniac and you’re looking for something to watch, then here are some suggestions:
The Godfather
No crime movies list is complete without a sport for this iconic movie. This is the first one where you’ll get to meet the Corleone family and how they’ve managed to make a name for themselves. You’ll see another meaning of the word family and what happens in a mob war. You’ll also see the dark history of Vegas in this one.
Vegas is doing alright today with lots of casinos and people coming to visit. The casino industry is pretty much online nowadays with sites catering to millions of players all over the world. The same can be said about the sports betting industry as online sportsbooks such as www.betstation.com attract lots of bettors online. The main thing about both is to enjoy them responsibly.
The Usual Suspects
If you’re looking for a crime movie with a Twist, then this is one of those movies. You’ll get a bunch of usual suspects like an explosive specialist, some car and truck thieves, a corrupt cop, and even a con man. The police have them brought in for questioning, but they don’t get anything out of them. They decide to do a job together and when it’s done they get another one. It’s given to them by a mysterious lawyer that represents Keyser Soze, a feared name in the criminal world.
After they find out that there’s no way out of this assignment they take it on. The movie is a representation of a statement by Verbal, the con man as he repeats it again for a police detective. The thing is that one of the crew members isn’t who he says he is which is why the twist at the end of this movie will have you flabbergasted.
The Town
The Town is a term that’s used to refer to Charlestown which is a town that has an unusual traditional trade. This is the trade of robbing banks and it has been passed down from father to son. It just so happens that a certain up-and-coming crew is looking to keep the tradition alive and well. They rob a certain bank, but one of the personnel triggers a silent alarm. They grab what they can and leave. During the robbery, one of them steals the license of a bank manager and the leader of the group needs to take care of the problem. Instead, he decides to date the problem and complicates things for his crew. It’s a nice thriller and features Ben Affleck, Jon Hamm, and Jeremy Renner among others. It’s a 2010 movie, but it’s one that’s worth your while.
