Advantages: good story line Disadvantages: some stuff in the story ruins it abit
...This film has such a great story line. and shows that people do all have good inside of them. With actors in it like Dwayne'the rock' Johnson just makes you want too watch it again and again. It shows that even if you dont like each other at the start of things in the end your can work together too suceed the un-achievable. If you are into the typical amercian gang story i like you'll enjoy this . there's not alot of blood + weapons in it or nothing but its got such a good story line that its worth the effort too watch it. Once you start watching it. its hard too stop yourself because you want too see what happens at the end of it...

Advantages: great story and great acting Disadvantages: none
..."Gridiron Gang" is the true story of Sean Porter (The Rock), a detention camp officer who tries to make something out of the kids in the camp at which he works. He attempts to instill discipline, honor, teamwork, and pride through football. He feels that this will help to keep them from going back to their old lifestyle once released. He wants to help them break the cycle of violence. Initially met with some resistance, he manages to schedule a season and help the kids make something of themselves.
While being a typical "feel good" sports movie, "Gridiron Gang" feels less clichéd than the majority of these kinds of films. The acting is good all around, and The Rock is well suited for the role of Porter. It is truly remarkable what the real Sean Porter accomplished. I liked this film more than I anticipated
if you have seen the film...

Advantages: good story line Disadvantages: none really
...This film is all about a gangster in americia who moves from the city to a small town which is ruled by two rival gangs. I think the idea of the film was good and bruce willis was brilliant playing the hardman gangster. John smith (Bruce willis) kind of plays between the two gangs who are both small time really compared to what he is used to. He starts to build up some respect for himself from each gang, altough both are unaware that he is dooming them both. In the end bruce willis sorts out both gangs and bringd peace back to the town. This film is well good and well worth watching....

Advantages: Great insight into the life of The Richardon's Disadvantages: NONE
...This film is about the Real life rival gang of the Krays. The Richardson's owned the South of London in the 1960's. They were known as the Torture Gang.
The actor Luke Goss who plays gang leader Charlie plays him really well and makes it a believable performance.
The film is set out to be Charlie's veiw on what happened and the goings on as a gangster. It also gives you an idea of the life as a respected man and the terror of facing life in prison. This is a real life story and is briliant to watch for people interested in the Richardsons or even the Krays.
The special features of the DVD include : Commentary's, deeted scenes, out-takes, and the advertisement of the film.
The Deleted scenes may hep you to understand more of the film, and the out-takes are a laugh. Also you may find the commentary helps you understand the film...

Advantages: Glamour of noo yawk Disadvantages: dated now
...Warriors has to be one of my favourite films ever it is so blase and so in your face i love it.
The warriors are a small time ang from coney island who trek to manhattan for a gang meet with every other gang in Noo Yawk. The speech is made by cyrus the leading figure of the biggest gang... Can you dig it? Can you dig it? CAN YOU DIG IT? Has to be my favourite and no doubt alot of other peoples favourite part and it has had so much of an impact on everything to follow.
It is hard to see all the refrences that are out there if you haven't seen the warriors (D12's fight music video is a prime example).
Anyway back to the gathering. cyrus is proposing a super gang to run the city so has put a truce so "nobody is wastin nobody" anyway it all goes tits up when he gets shot by a rival gangster who obiously doesnt want to be in the big gang...
