Similar films to lock stock, layer cake e.t.c

Hi

Im looking to add to my dvd collection and was thinking of getting some more modern gangster sytle films. The same style as, "lock stock and two smoking barrels" and "the layer cake".

If any one has any recommendations then fire away! They can be past films already on dvd, or films comming soon to dvd or even ones comming soon to the big screen.

Cheers.

Awesome awesome film , take it for what it is , violent and British look beyond the acting and see the full story which is a true one

erm goofellas is a true story ( well acted ) so looking beyond the acting in a film seems a bit pointless - could just read the book

Define a good film?? :confused:

For me if it entertains you through out then its a good film

Suppose it depends on what your definition is of a good/awesome film

Well, if that all it takes for you to think it's an awesome film....

There are SO many problems with it, and very little good. I won't derail this thread any further though.
