    • Trivia
      After Black (2015) had caught the eye of Hollywood, directors Bilall Fallah and Adil El Arbi were approached to replace Joe Carnahan as directors of Bad Boys for Life (2020). Since no definite promises were made and they were doubtful that Bad Boys For Life would ever be greenlit, they decided to make this movie, which cemented their reputation as action directors.

    Incredibly dull film
    Bad writing, cliché dialogues and incredibly flat characters lead to wretched performances by otherwise good actors like Matteo Simoni.

    Belgian directors Adil el Arbi and Bilall Fallah made 2 good relatively good movies before this one: Image and Black. Yet Gangsta/Patser is a absolute mess. The story is all over the place, the characters are depicted as lowlifes who are unable to do anything meaningful but bark at each other and repeat lines from cult movies as Scarface over and over and over. It has been a long time since I watched a movie with characters as flat as the ones in this film.

    El Arbi and Fallah really missed a chance of making a great movie here that would put themselves and lead actor Matteo Simoni in the spotlight. In some sort they actually did this, but not in a positive way.
