The release of Gangster Squad has got us reminiscing about our favourite screen mobsters, and we thought it was about time someone lent a voice to the most unsung criminal masterminds in film. But don’t go looking for Goodfellas and Godfathers – we’ve excluded Scorsese, because his characters are a whole top 10 on their own. NO MORE shall these forgotten bandits be ignored. Who’s the most ruthless, the most unsung gangster of them all? (Some of these are cartoons, by the way. What does that tell you about your childhood?)

Whilst I haven’t heard of 50 Cent doing anything recently, apparently he has been very much involved in the acting side of things. And it hasn’t been a half arsed effort either. Not content with doing over five films this years, he’s recently undertaken a MASSIVE weightloss taking him to 160 pounds for his next role, plus he’s just joined Team Lives of The Saints! Woop!

What do you mean you’ve never heard of the Essex Boys and the Rettendon murders? Are you trying to wind me up? Bonded By Blood is a true-blue British gangster film about the 1995 range rover killings.

This is Essex…
