The film tells the story of the Mormon gang of robbers in France in the 70s. The plot of the film involving loyalty and betrayal will be partly reminiscent of Sergio Leon's "Once Upon a Time in America", of course, this French film does not have the ups and downs, swings, vicissitudes and grandeur of "Once Upon a Time in America", and it is impossible to be as classic as it is, but it also has a strong and unavoidable sense of fatalism and realism.
The Promise of the East
is a 100-minute thriller produced and distributed by Focus Pictures. Directed by David Cornenberg, written by Steven Knight, and starring Vigo Mortensen, Naomi Watts, Vincent Cassel, and Amin Müller-Starr, the film was released in the United States on September 14, 2007. The film tells the story of a midwife investigating the cause of the death of a 14-year-old girl in childbirth, but has no intention of revealing the inside story of the deep horrors of the Russian gang. The film itself is not a big pattern, the director is in control, the story is well-thought-out but not without loopholes, the editing schedule is excellent, all the actors have wonderful performances, and Monica Bellucci's husband Vincent Cassel is not inferior to viggo in acting. Naomi watts play normally, and are inevitably compared to a group of male actors. Another supporting character who caught my eye was Sinéad Cusack, who played Naomi's mother in the film. I've only seen her play the doctor in v for vendetta, but those weathered eyes are unforgettable at first sight. She was the wife of Jeremy Irons.
Viggo Mortensen is an American actor. He has multiple identities, and in addition to being an actor, Vigo Mortsen is also known as a painter, poet, and photographer. Some people say that this movie is viggo's personal show.

In February 1984, the film was released in the United States. In 1985, the film won awards such as Best Foreign Language Film at the 8th Japan Academy Awards. The film pours out all the director's passion for The United States and even film. Ennio Morriccan also dedicated the most beautiful music to the film. The perfect collaboration between the duo in this film was also terminated by Leone's sudden death, becoming a wonderful "swan song". It is said that the music was composed seven years before the film was completed, but it was closely related to the film to the point of perfect match. This tacit understanding may only appear in these two old partners.
Robert De Niro is an American actor, director and producer. Some people think that "Once Upon a Time in America" is his pinnacle.

The film won the Palme d'Or in the main competition section of the 62nd Cannes Film Festival. The Prophet is a film about a French prison, by Jacques Pétain. In an interview, Odia denied such claims. I don't know what a French prison looks like, but with this film, if you are faithful to life, then I think this statement is very appropriate. It's always more appropriate and sincere than the French "The Shawshank Redemption" or the French crime epic.
"Extremely Evil and Non-Taoist"
The film Extremely Evil is a gangster-themed film directed by Takeshi Kitano, starring Yukazu Miura and Ryo Kase, and released in Japan on June 12, 2010.

Takeshi Kitano was questioned after the release of "Extremely Evil", "You yourself said that the era of cutting off your fingers as a way to apologize has passed, do you think gangster movies will become obsolete?" He said: "I don't think the gangs themselves are obsolete. As far as I know, they still exist, but the way they operate is very different from the golden years of the past. In the past, there was a strict hierarchy between their superiors and subordinates, and cutting their fingers was one of the ways in which subordinates obeyed their superiors, and they were punished for making mistakes. Now, these organizations will use cash more instead of fingers. "Throughout the film, the elements of the previous Kitano Takeshi gangster films are all available, such as finger cutting, headshots, black Mercedes... It's just been updated, including the cast.

Rock Gangster
Rock 'n' Roll Gangster is an action crime film produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, directed by Guy Ritchie and co-starring Gerald Butler, Tom Wilkinson, Sandy Newton, and Mark Strong. The film was released in the UK on 5 September 2008. The film tells the story of a Russian gangster who devised a fraudulent plan to buy and sell land, which caused all kinds of criminals throughout London to "compete for the deer".
In the few films that Gehrig has the most self-written and self-directed styles, Rock Gangster is a work that far exceeds the snap or even the big smoking gun. It inherits formally the dialectics that Gehrig has been playing, a roulette wheel full of coincidences and cleverness. The mourners will be victorious, and the benevolent will be invincible. Rock gangsters are about all kinds of dependence and betrayal of relationships, care and hurt, tenderness and cruelty, contradictions and helplessness and naturalization. Each role is very well played, and even passers-by who play soy sauce such as tennis girls, Russian killers, addicts who sell things smoothly, and rock musicians who are nonsensical are all distinct and charming.
