Crime films often focus on the life of the criminal(s) or the criminal's victim(s) because they are main character within the plotline. Some Crime films emphasise of the rise and fall of the criminal, gang, murderers and lawbreakers. This may be because they have personal power struggles or conflict with the law or with a rival criminal or gang. This can be an example used with Scarface (1983) because Tony Montana is seen working his way up into the mob empire by being a simple criminal turning into the leader of the mob therefore he is rising. Then he has conflict with rival gangs representing his fall. Rivalry with other criminals/gangs is often a significant plot characteristic. Real life gangsters have been portrayed in some films such as Al Capone in the Untouchables (1987).This film focuses on the the government agents trying to bring Capone during prohibition.
