Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Don't listen to the negative reviews
The acting in this movie is really good.
This movie was great, very well produced and all the actors were really good. I seen the the movie on ABC network, but the DVD was a lot better. If you like mob movies, i strongly recommend this film. The relationship between the father and the son was very believable and very moving. Sal Mazzotta, great work and i cant wait to see your next movie, as an actor you are really good. My mom and dad really liked the movie, they loved the actor who played your father, he was very good. This film reminds me of the Sopranos, very real to life. Hopefully you will consider Canada for your next project. I lived here my whole life and it is a great city to possibly shoot your next project.
It was made in my hometown Philly, that's the only reason I watched it. That and I'm a big fan of cops & wops flicks. This one left way too much to be desired with respect to the overall acting quality, and to hint that it could be compared to the Sopranos is ludicrous. It seemed more like a documentary in overall content presentation.I agree with the pans it has received in the more timely comments that have been posted. For me, it was like going back to the block for a little while, and taking in the scenery. Reading some of the favorable comments it received made me wonder if the writers of same were made an offer they couldn't refuse.
I just don't know where to begin, this piece of crap was nothing but a waste of time for all involved. The acting was sad, it brought tears to my eyes, tears of laughter. If gangsters were to talk like they did in this major bomb, their victims would just laugh at them and give them a back hand.I had worked in a bar in south Philly which may have had some mob connections, and I guarantee they would take of the portrayals in this flick. I can't imagine the set decorator ever stepped into an Italian house, because, he had everything all wrong, the fight scenes were worse than bad they were terrible. The whole thing just makes me sick, I probably shouldn't made any comments, but I just had to get this off my chest. There is no mistaking this bomb to the Sopranos.
I watched this film and thought it was a very good movie especially the actor Sal Mazzotta who played the role of Frank Paridiso he was excellent. I believe he carried the film. I thought the editing was done very well and the cinematography was really good. This film was shot real to life it reminds me of the Sopranos. Also the actor Leo Rossi who played the role of Vito was very believable. The scene that was very disturbing was the actor that played Danny Defino(Johnny Williams) when he was tied up and they used a blow torch to kill him. That scene my Girlfriend could not watch it felt so real it was scary. Even the actor that played Frank's father(Robert Costanzo) was very good. If your a mob fan and you love mafia films I recommend this movie to everyone.
