Pretty good gangster movie!

La Gammick is another movie by Jacques Godbout(Ixe-13). The story is good and so are the actors. There are a couple of good one-liners throughout the film and there is even an appearance of Julien Poulin (Elvis Gratton) as one of the henchmen. Overall a good film! ...8/10
