Unfortunately, British gangster films seem to be associated by many with one Guy Ritchie, an ultraoverrated dolt with thought patterns similar to those of his lunatic Kaballah-driven wife and an egomania approaching the level of Dave "Court Jester" Courtney. However, some truly fine gangland pictures did come out of London in the last few years - "Gangster No 1", for instance. Of the ones I've seen recently, I'm also partial to "Essex Boys" - even if the only actual truth in this "based on a true story" picture was a car with four bodies inside.
