Crime cliches

There are many different crime cliches that have been in all good crime films in the past. There are things like the unwritten gangster code, even though the code appears to be pointless it must not be violated.
Crime films most often than not involve a rat, who would be a undercover cop or a member of the gang : the gangsters have a hard time identifying the rat in the crew, even though the rat is always the newest and best-looking member of the gang, and never seems to belong to the same ethnic group as everyone else.

Another thing that often appears in crime films would be a scene in a restaurant or club, where someone says something to one of the gang members not knowing who he is or his envlovement with the gang. He then later regrets it.


Most of the gangsters in each crime films would be incredibly crooked, doing anything there told by their boss. It would appear the wouldnt ever question the decisions or feel any guilt about what they have just done. However there is usually one ' straight arrow ' in the group whom is respected by everyone because he's not completely crooked.
