Believer or The Firm (not the Tom Cruise crapfest) are far more accurate portrayals of that particular sub culture.
I'd say I'm on the opposite end of the Spectrum...I'd agree that the Ed Norton Films named above are overrated, but he's a champ in my book. The Score and Rounders were pretty sweet, and his best IMO is Primal Fear. I'd throw Primal Fear into the Underrated category, for it is a very fine flick.
