I've never watched a gangster movie. However, I really enjoy reading the prose of Damon Runyon, whose stories were used as the plot of the musical Guys and Dolls. What I like the best is the precision of language. The characters never use contractions. Their sentences are constructed in such a way to ensure that there are no possible alternative meanings and no misunderstandings... probably because they could be killed if something was misinterpreted.
