In the top films about the mafia came one more tape, the main role in which was played by the brilliant Takeshi Kitano.

It turns out that Michael is a real gangster. Because of his "work", the life of the Sullivan family is under threat and Michael is forced to start a war with the mafia boss.

4. Double castling( 2002)
Rating - 7.7

3. Gangster( 2007)
Rating - 7.9

He engaged in the supply of pure heroin, "crushing" competitors cheap prices and earning a million dollars a day. However, following the footsteps of the drug baron, there is a rare type for New York - an honest policeman.
2. City of God( 2002)
Rating - 8
The second place in our mafia collection is the Brazilian criminal drama about the slums in the city of carnivals of Rio de Janeiro. They reign over crime, drug addiction and lawlessness. The film very well shows the reality of the gangster quarter, in which a bandit becomes much easier than an honest man.
In fact, the shooting in the "City of God" was so dangerous that the action was filmed in neighboring, less criminal areas.
1. Apostates( 2006)
Rating - 8.4
Tops the top films about the mafia story about "moles" - embedded agents. One of them is the Irish Mafiosi( Matt Damon), who portrays a policeman. The other is William Costigan( Leonardo DiCaprio), who in the strictest secrecy was introduced into the gang of sadist and psychopathic Francis Castello( Jack Nicholson).The director of "The Departed" Martin Scorsese created an amazingly interesting and cruel film, which until the last moment keeps the viewer in suspense "what will happen?" And the ending will make even those who are accustomed to unpredictable turns of the plot be surprised.
