I think that's the issue, though. Within their environment, redeeming qualities do exist. You just have to look at it from their point-of-view. So many gangster pictures are, in actuality, character studies that ask the audience to stretch beyond their narrow moral compasses. Looking for qualities based on your own definitions of right and wrong close you off to a lot of great stories.
