This was going to be a 'recommended reading' list for a while, then I started thinking of movies.

Books
* The Lies of Locke Lamora (Scott Lynch)
* Anansi Boys (Neil Gaiman)
* Three Days To Never (Tim Powers)
* Declare (also Tim Powers)
* The Anubis Gates (also Tim Powers)

* King Rat (China Mieville)
* Un Lun Dun (China Mieville)

I'd have to go with Thieves' World, definitely. The original anthology especially has an ethos that fits Fastlane perfectly.
