Moving a trope that was erroneously placed on the YMMV page.
Added DiffLines:
* PoliceAreUseless: The police don't accomplish much in the first two thirds of the film. When they finally do start to take down Frank's gang members, it's a rather clumsy "off the books" operation and they appear to lose almost as many on their own side as gangsters killed. At one point, Frank drives up and shoots a police officer in broad daylight, in front of a funeral full of other cops, who just watch as he drives away.

* BottomlessMagazines: During the car chase, a lot of bullets get fired and no one seems too bothered about the possibility of running out

Though initially panned by critics for its enthusiastic use of violent and sexual images and its "glorification" of criminal activity, the film carved out a niche audience among fans of gangster movies and rap, and is today considered a classic example of 1990s crime cinema.

* RiseAndFallGangsterArc: Frank White is released from prison and immediately begins rebuilding his criminal empire, uniting many of the gangs of New York in an EqualOpportunityEvil alliance and dealing major blows against his Mafia rivals. This soon draws the attention of the police, who start chipping away at Frank's influence. [[spoiler:Most of Frank's gang is either killed in chaotic shoot-outs with other gangs or the detectives targeting Frank and he becomes [[VillainousBreakdown increasingly unhinged and careless]] as a result. After he shoots the lead detective in public with tons of witnesses around, he attempts to flee before dying ignominiously, bleeding out in the back of a cab from a gunshot wound as waves of cops surround him, denying him even a DyingMomentOfAwesome.]]
