A life of crime

"These organized crime stories are fairly obscure second-tier movies. A good percentage of the GANGSTERS 20 MOVIE PACK titles were made outside the USA. There's famous actors in every single one of these films (domestic and foreign); some appear in support. This collection should be of interest, if only for the personnel involved.
For a related box set, RULE OF THE GUN 20 MOVIE PACK is sure to keep the action going!
