Criminal - Drama and Action
This list presents a struggle as I already have an action list and a deleted drama list but well there was a need for movies like Welcome to Colinwood and Way Of the Gun, one is a comedy drama crime movie and the other an action drama crime movie. Anyway this list contains movies that have some criminal element. Should fast and furious be in here, I don`t know, who cares this is becoming a mission..
