Meanwhile, the Benelli family, enemies of Paconne, hire the reputed murderer Frank Malone to finish with the gangster.
Gangsters is a zero budget short film, tribute to the classic film noir. We have tried to approach this type of film in the style of black and white, film dirt and even in the dialogues, performances and body attitude of the actors. When viewed Gangsters, it must be seen as an old movie of the 50s.
