Christian Bale took on the role of Batman for three motion picture releases, however it seems the actor wasn't pleased with his performance.
well i have to say that was a good ranking of gangster films more or less accurate.
Casino, Heat, Millers Crossing, Snatch, The Departed, Lock, stock and two smoking barrels? 25th Hour, The Professional, Chinatown, True Romance, Blow, The Town, History of Violence? Hell, even Harlem Nights would be a better fit than Con Air and The Dark Knight.
I would add Layer Cake, Rock N Rolla, Jackie Brown, Get Carter, Lock Stock, etc. etc. I notice this list is curiously bereft of British and Russian gangster flicks, and they are among the best.
