Rare gangster films that are close to "The Godfather" in recent years

I watched "Black Mass" and "Legend" in a row in the afternoon. The styles of the two films are similar to "The Godfather", but the former was disappointed after watching it by Depp and Cunfu, and the latter was a real surprise.
There are several scenes that are quite impressive, one is the scene where the torture gang imitates the court interrogator, giving a strong "Public Enemy" style; the other is the scene where two brothers fight in a club, love, brothers The three things of love and gang morality are completely integrated into the fists of the two brothers, and they collide with sparks of passion. Brotherly affection and love runs through the protagonist's gang development history, and it can also be condensed into the fact that the neuropathy of the elder brother has been messing up and the younger brother has been helping the elder brother wipe his ass. The elder brother was too fragile and selfish to allow anyone to interfere with his younger brother---this emotion culminated in her forcing away his sister-in-law and murdering the broker. With such a neurotic elder brother, the younger brother had to pay for it. Doing everything to maintain everything, in the end, loyalty and filial piety are difficult, and the selfishness of the elder brother also leads the two brothers to the road of destruction.
The setting of Jack in the supporting role is very ingenious and successful. Although Jack is insignificant, he plays the role of leading the protagonist from beginning to end, and this supporting role is quite backbone.
Family-style crimes, European scenes of the last century, the way gangs meet, etc., are all reminiscent of "The Godfather". Fortunately, the solid plot of this film makes me feel that this is a rare imitation of "The Godfather" in recent years. A gangster movie that won't disappoint.

  • Ronald Kray: People who live in glasshouses shouldn't throw stones.

  • Ronald Kray: ...And I'm staring at the back of this geezer's head. Drilling him with my eyes. The whole time thinking "Give Ron Kray your sausage. Give Ron your fucking sausage." Until, I'm not thinking it anymore; I'm broadcasting , through his skull and into his brain. 'Til he looks back at me and says "Ron, do you fancy my sausage? I've got no appetite this morning."
