Gang Movie Review :
This film review are Mostly Positive from Critics, IMDB Public Reviewing site give 6.3 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are 209.
This is a truly underrated and underappreciated classic, one of the last dying breeds of true action cinema which has some amazing acting with a stellar cast and the direction is well done too. This film had many problems with its productions, taking ten years to make due to budgets, actors dying (Amjad Khan who was gonna play the main villain) and more. If you enjoy gangster films with good story, decent acting and great directing, then this is the one for you.
