Both Clockers and DP were good films,SB.
I don't consider them to be gangster films per se, though.I think of gangster films as those depicting organized crime. cosa nostra yakuza triad westies south american cartel or some sort of organization




some of the urban flicks involve criminal characters and gunplay but aren't about organizations with any hierarchy or pecking order.
