Spy Game:
There was a time when CIA officer Nathan Muir (Robert Redford) and his protege Tom Bishop (Brad Pitt) were inseparable, travelling the world and tasting everything it had to offer... From Vietnam to Berlin to Beirut. In a profession fraught with danger and uncertainty, Muir and Bishop forged an uncommonly close friendship. But that was years ago. Now, in 1991, on the brink of his retirement from the agency, Muir learns that Bishop has gone rogue, jailed overseas on espionage charges and is scheduled to die in 24 hours. Muir decides to take on the most dangerous and personal mission of his life.

Gangs In New York:
Martin Scorsese's Gangs Of New York introduces today's world to the Five Points, a dark corner of the city known to New Yorkers of long ago as the centre of vice and chaos. Into this frontier of extreme lawlessness arrives the young Amsterdam Vallon (Leonardo DiCaprio). Amsterdam is the orphaned son of the slain Priest Vallon (Liam Neeson) - once chief warrior of the Dead Rabbits gang that rallied the Irish immigrants of the Five Points. Amsterdam has returned to the Five Points to hunt down his father's killer. His target is William Cutting AKA "Bill the Butcher" (Daniel Day-Lewis), who has since become the merciless new leader of the neighbourhood, a Nativist who detests the newly arrived immigrants and is determined to fend off all so-called "foreign invaders." Amsterdam works his way deep into the Butcher's inner circle, a world of alternating honour and cruelty from which he can only hope to escape.
