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.

4. Double castling (2002)

Rating - 7.7

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.
