This film was very influential in helping popularize the gangster genre through later films such as those directed by Martin Scorsese. I love Robinson's portrayal of this "Al Capone" type villain and again, the novelty of this film in 1930/31 in what makes it the most special in my opinion. I give it a 9 because I can't help but know that more films from this genre would be even better.
