During the marijuana bonanza, a violent decade that saw the origins of drug trafficking in Colombia, Rapayet and his indigenous family get involved in a war to control the business that ends up destroying their lives and their culture.
This film was not what I expected. And I mean that in the most positive way possible. What I expected was another rehashing of the Colombian drug cartel wars / gun fights / Pablo Escobar type stuff, and while there is certainly s find out more...

A lavish Scorcese epic set in 70s Vegas. De Niro is typically charismatic as Ace, whose gambling empire brings him wealth, power and, ultimately, ruin. Pesci is satisfyingly psychotic regurgitating his "Goodfellas" gangster, but it's Stone who will break your heart as tortured ex-hooker Ginger. Superb. find out more...

A bunch of likely London lads are hired to rob a bank of its safety deposit boxes, but unfortunately this bunch of amateurs aren't really the best outfit to pull the job off. While the robbery doesn't go exactly according to plan, the scandal that they inadvertently bring to light may become the boys' best hope of dodging a very long stretch at Her Majesty's pleasure, or worse.
