Gomorra / Gomorrah (2008)
Crime | Drama
Made up of six short episodes with six main characters–all revolving around the four-sided criminality between the port of Naples, Scampia, Castelvolturno and Terzigno, and based on the best selling book by Roberto Saviano, 'Gomorrah' is a story of power, money and blood. These are the "values" that the residents of the province of Naples and Caserta confront every day; they have practically no choice, and are forced to obey the rules of the "system"- the Gomorra. Only a lucky few can even think of leading a "normal" life. The stories are woven together in this violent scenario, set in a cruel and ostensibly fictional world, but one that is deeply rooted in reality.
Starring: Salvatore Cantalupo, Gianfelice Imparato, Maria Nazionale, Toni Servillo, Gigio Morra, Salvatore Abruzzese

He can set out on a new life and forget about his past. But he neglected to take into account Murphy's Law and its delightful raft of maximum problems…

Long Arm of the Law / Sheng gang qi bing (1984)
Action | Crime
An ultra-violent and ultra-gritty tale of desperate Chinese would-be jewel thieves hoping to make a quick, effortless score in Hong Kong. Naturally, things go afoul, and the gang must hide out until the heat dies down, besmirched with the blood of an undercover cop. A progenitor of sorts of both "City on Fire" and "Reservoir Dogs," but lacking the romantic melodrama of the former and the hipster staginess of the latter. Winner of Hong Kong Film Awards for both Best Film and Best Director. Spawned a franchise with three sequels.
Starring: Jing Chen, Jian Huang, Lung Jiang, Ben Lam, Wai Lam
