The 2008 gangster movie endorsed by Martin Scorsese: “I admire the bluntness of this picture”There are some things that simply go hand in hand. And of course, Martin Scorsese and gangster movies. From Casino and Goodfellas, all the way to the more modern offering with The Irishman, there simply isn’t a gangster film that he is unable to leave a tremendous mark on. The way he can spot great stories within the genre of gangster and mafia movies means that you can pretty much guarantee any movie Scorsese endorses is probably worth a watch. That certainly is high praise, and as if you needed any more of a reason to go and watch a good gangster film, the fact that Martin Scorsese says you should, sounds like a decent enough sweetener.
