American Gangster, if you like French Connection and Serpico, you'll like this one as well.
Also watched recently, and I highly recommend, City of God, film based on real-life accounts, located in the Brazilian slum called The City of God of Paulo Lins. It depicts the growth of the crime in this Rio de Janeiro's suburb, between the end of the 60's and the beginning of the 80's. It has been described by some as the Brazilian Goodfellas. Even though City of God might be set in the outskirts of Rio it has universal echoes. The film is an assured meditation on the inevitability of violence in a ghetto where people are almost entirely without hope. Fortunately the killings, and their underlying social discontent, are lightened with dark humour and engaging performances.
The performances are astonishing as they are authentic, understandably, as the child actors were recruited from the favela streets in which the film is set, avoiding the gloss of stage school. Meirelles and co-director Katia Lund worked for eight months prior to shooting, creating the various episodes through a series of improvisational workshops. The results are incredible – one harrowing, brilliantly acted scene in particular involves a rising group of vicious child gangsters, who give one of their even younger victims the choice of being shot “in the hand or in the foot” in one of the most disturbing scenes in recent years that Hollywood or Europe would shy away from. We’re really not used to seeing children wielding guns as brutal killers and this film really hammers that home.
Different actors play the main characters, as children and as young adults. Douglas Silva is arresting as the child villain Little Dice, whose cold-eyed acceptance of murder as a tool of self-progression is utterly convincing. Leandro Firmino de Hora also excels in the same character's adult role, with a performance that is spine-chillingly real in its lust for power and disregard for human life.
The film also excels in technical areas. Cesar Charlone's grainy, sun-drenched camerawork is reminiscent of 'Traffic', while Daniel Rezende's stunning, hyper-kinetic editing only occasionally distracts from the film's flow. We see a speeded-up history of an apartment that’s used as a drug base, or a violent confrontation that explodes under the strobe-effects of a nightclub and really artistic freeze frame shots as the characters are introduced.
No, it's not even close to a boxing movie, it's a strange comedy/drama from Sweden.

Then when Pippo scored they caught a glimpse of his celebration and that was all, couldn't show the goal apparently. 
from me. In part 2 they did just about everything wrong and was cliched up to the maximum.
