This was Not A Bad Film! It has a reasonable resemblance to Bugsy with the same approach of trailing the real life development of organised crime in a section of American society. It also has a real story documentary included in the special features that is well worth watching and pairing to sections of the movie. Ultimately it tells the tale of crime figures that are socio-pathological killers that are able to endear themselves to sections of the community and blurring the line between clearly evil and small measures of good. It also highlights the evil of enforcement agencies getting into bed with the villains for information and plea-bargaining for the sake of a conviction thereby weighting one serious crime higher than another and denying equal justice to all victims - a sober warning for Australian criminal and intelligence agencies.

This movie is awesome and I loved every minute of the gangster city of Cleveland in the 70's. Well acted and based on true events. What more could you ask. 5 stars.

True Grit - what a film for anyone who loves the hard, rough exerior of the wild west coupled with true honour and real men. This is an adventure started by a fourteen year old girls desire to avenge her fathers muder. She will do whatever it takes to bring the killer to justice. A young girl self educated can match it with the best in the wild west!
