In Saints Row , perhaps the best GTA clone of all the many variants to come out over the last few years , you play as an up-and-coming gangster intent on taking over the town of Stilwater . In comparison , police killed 160 gangsters during the same period . What is noteworthy in the rise of the " hero " movies is that , apart from attaching greater value to the theme of underworld honor than to the forces of law and order ( no doubt a reflection of the perception that the Hong Kong government would become a lame duck administration in the run-up to 1997 ) , it also laid a particular emphasis on male bonding and the homoerotic aspects of violence which " beautiful looking " male gangsters mete out to each other . Then , as one of the gangsters is killed in a characteristically gruesome manner , you are trusted with a shotgun to fend off the police . By the end of the film it seems to have become akin to the complex Brit gangster films of recent years ( Layer Cake , Lock , Stock & Two Smoking Barrels , etc ) , which only adds to its appeal . Seale was a leader of the Black Panther Party , a politico / gangster operation typical of the times . More than just a gangster 's moll , Angela is the delivery girl who transports the goods across the city at high risk . The gangsters , who all have nicknames , have given her one too : Dragon Lady . Here , Wilson 's Alex Sheldon - - author of a novel called Love Always Means Having to Say You're Sorry - - is menaced by Cuban gangsters to whom he owes a small fortune . The ruthless gangster D-Mob has escaped from police custody and returns home to find his stranglehold on the New York underground fight club circuit threatened by brutal newcomer Crow .
