Gangster movies are often dramas, because the stories told are, well, dramatic. Back during the Golden Age of Hollywood, when the gangster genre was first being fleshed out and made a thing, the stories were almost always of the rise-and-fall variety, with someone becoming a criminal, getting powerful, and then being brought down, because crime just couldn’t pay, in the long run; it’s not the message anyone wanted to put across.
