Letterboxd Showdown: Underworld

Calling all you pale flowers and angels with dirty faces: this Showdown is for those who have sympathy for the underdog. We’re putting a hit out on the best under-seen mafia movies, from all over the (under)world. It’s time to put on the outfit and tell us who you have in your sights as public enemy numbers one through ten. It’s an offer you can’t refuse—but here’s the catch: no Godfathers, Goodfellas or Scarfaces. Only gangster films watched by 25,000 or fewer will count, all others will be thrown to the fishes, because we have the absolute power.
