Mafia is a universal phenomenon that can be the central theme, be it in any slot at casino online or in world-famous movies. By making films about organized crime, directors and screenwriters reflect on all of humanity at once in their work. We used to see mafia in cult films like The Godfather or Scarface, all brutal, dramatic, and full of action. But there is also a place for mafia vibes even in comedy movies, showing the criminal world from another side. Here are some of the most famous mixes of criminal and comedy.
The Family

So, one day a writer named Blake settled in a quiet street of a provincial French town with his family and his dog Malavita. This is when the centuries-old calm of the city ended. Why did the local supermarket burn down? What is the risk of a slow plumber? What is in the backpack of a nice guy in beige breeches? Who would have thought that in fact Mr. Blake is a former head of the mafia, whom the authorities are hiding here from persecution? And now the people of “Cosa Nostra” come to the town.

But the mafia boss ordered to kill Bernie himself, having learned that he was hanging out with his mistress, which was done in that very luxurious house on the ocean with an injection in the buttock.
