Tired of lax justice, two brothers become particularly effective vigilantes against the criminal element in their greater area.
I don’t know what to say about this movie. It’s fantastic. Good characters, a good story and with a good flow to it.
TODO – A two-part comic book story, serving as a companion to the movie sequel, was released in May 2010.

A young, broken, man, enters an underground community of computer crackers, trying desperately to prove himself but with consequences.
An extremely good movie. While not quite mandatory, it’s definitely a proper advancement of the “hacker kid” movies that have sullied past movies. Highly recommended, even for people that “know their stuff”, as it doesn’t lay on the techno-babble which describes everything painfully wrong. Instead, it takes a reasonable middle ground, staying away from pop culture and fairly-firmly on the social side of storytelling.

Some Japanese guys are in a prison.
I have no idea what’s going on with this, but after nearly a half an hour I’m just going to give up.

Set in the 1960s, two brothers are gangsters.
Incomprehensible. I can’t hear through the accents.

A kid goes mad and then vigilante after witnessing the murder of his mother.
This is nothing like batman, honest. This is an awkward movie that would have been better off cut-down and presented as a series pilot. A series made of this would, of course, have failed. While this movie does present a better angle for the insanity behind vigilanteism, it’s lacking overall. I don’t empathise with the character at all, which I think is the entire point of this angle of movie.

I’m not sure how to describe this movie. It’s .. it doesn’t have the sort of consistency that makes it stick in memory enough to try.
It both feels like it has a plot line and that it’s all over the place. Overall it neither crafts a “feeling” nor has memorable characters. It was watchable enough to get through it all without really cringing, but it’s definitely not re-watchable and I wouldn’t recommend it even as bubblegum viewing. It’s successor, Hitman – Agent 47 (2015)[doesn’t exist], is way better.
Executive producer.. Vin Diesel? Oh.

A group of friends gets in deep and bumbles into crime to settle things.
Reminds me a lot of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels – (1998 movie) crossed with The Usual Suspects – (1995 movie). Overall it’s fair, but not that great and absolutely not worth a second watch.

With his sister in trouble with the local semi-mob, a man works to pay off her debts but gets in too deep.
It’s generally slow and brooding, doesn’t get to the point and has an unsatisfying ending. Not recommended.
Not related to Dutch Kills, a subsection of Long Island City, New York City, New York, United States.

The story of Al Capone and his network of criminals being chased by the United States Department of the Treasury.
Overall it’s an entertaining, albeit predictable, film to me. I understand it was popular at the time, but I can’t imagine it’s held up well at all. It puts me off because it’s so very clean, yet has so much violence. There is a sort of strange “Disney violence” oil-and-water that makes no sense to me.

TODO – Crime and stuff.
After seeing Black Mass – (2015 movie) I’m reminded to put this into the growing catalogue. I’ll have to come back and re-watch it to add any real notes. Though I’ve seen this, it isn’t in my collection and I don’t expect to see it again any time soon.
Being ancient and good, this movie has become the standard for a “certain type” of movie. It got there first, so it set the bar. One which arguably hasn’t been reached by other movies.
Followed by The Godfather Part II – (1974 movie)
