List of the best includes Asian and European films released between 2000 and 2017 and rated high on Kinopoisk.

10. The Irishman (2010)

Rating - 7.1

This is the story of Irish gangster Danny Green, one of the largest mafia figures in Cleveland in the 70s of the 20th century. It is based on real events. The unbending and fearless Irish Robin Hood is respected, despite the fact that he was engaged in unimportant affairs. Stars such as Christopher Walken, Mike Starr, Vinnie Jones and Val Kilmer starred in the movie, and they didn’t have to blush for their acting in Irish.

9. Mayhem (2010)

Rating - 7.1

The first, but not the last Asian picture in the best films about gangsters. This time, the focus is not on the Irish, but the Japanese mafia - the Yakuza. It took time for tattoos and severed fingers, now the battlefield has moved from city streets to the financial world.

Rating - 7.4

7. The Prophet (2009)

6. Brother of the Yakuza (2000)

Rating - 7.6

Another tape entered the top films about the mafia, in which the brilliant Takeshi Kitano played the main role. The plot focuses on the Yakuza Anika Yamamoto, who, after the defeat of the clan, travels to America, where he is waiting for an equally cruel and unprincipled criminal world.

5. The Cursed Path (2002)

Rating - 7.6

It turns out that Michael is a real gangster. Because of his “work,” the life of the Sullivan family is in jeopardy and Michael is forced to start a war with the mafia boss. The audience was praised not only by the game of the main characters, but also by good camera work and excellent musical accompaniment.

4. Double castling (2002)

Rating - 7.7

3. Gangster (2007)

Rating - 7.9

From the driver of criminal authority, Frank Lucas himself turned into a gangster boss. He engaged in the supply of pure heroin, “crushing” competitors with cheap prices and earning a million dollars a day. However, in the wake of the drug lord there is a type rare for New York - an honest policeman.

2. City of God (2002)

Rating - 8

In second place in our mafia selection is the Brazilian crime drama about slums in the city of carnivals of Rio de Janeiro. They reign crime, drug addiction and lawlessness. The film shows very well the reality of the gangster quarter, in which it is much easier to become a gangster than an honest person.

In fact, filming in the "City of God" was so dangerous that the action was filmed in neighboring, less criminal areas.

1. The Departed (2006)

Rating - 8.4

Leads the top movies about the mafia the story of the "moles" - rooted agents. One of them is the Irish mafiosi (Matt Damon), who portrays a policeman. The other is William Costigan (Leonardo di Caprio), who, in the strictest secrecy, was introduced into the gang of the sadist and psychopath Francis Castello (Jack Nicholson). The director of The Departed, Martin Scorsese, created an amazingly interesting and cruel film, which until the last moment keeps the viewer in suspense “what will happen?” And the ending will surprise even those who are used to unpredictable plot twists.
