There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I never felt really bad for the actors when something bad happened to them... the soundtrack sounds like a B-Movie with Dolf Lundgreen. Anyway This movie is spiked with a lot B-Actors who are actually better actors than the average but can't really match up their role. Not even one in there is close to be believed as a mafioso...*** Minor Spoiler*** Not even Vince who is portrayed as a hard mafioso boss (actually the son of the major boss).. he just looks like a normal thug and is not really able to frighten a 6 year old... Actually he looks (and acts) like a normal Italian family father who's into soccer ;). *** Minor Spoiler End***Anyway the movie is OK for an evening to watch, although the story is predictable, (very) hardly believable and the Acting is not really good. So it gets 4 out of 10. Which is average, not more but not less. Watch this if you are done with all the sopranos, godfather, scarface and what not mafioso movies. But if you have the choice take this movie as the last one.

The Mandylor brothers are great in everything they do, but Louis should of had a bigger role like he did in the "Big Fat Greek Wedding", maybe as Tony's brother in "Hitters" duh.... (although Greg Lauren did a good job), Veteran actor Robert Davi lacked the range of tonal color necessary to make his characterization of "Nick" consistently interesting, missing was the edgy tough guy image that we've grown accustom to in his earlier films. Joey De Pinto as "Vince" portrayed an out of control, no-nonsense psychotic killer well, Carol Alt was terrific in her dramatic role as Tony's wife "Marie" but for me, other then Costas and Louis Mandylor, Frank D'Amico played his part best, the crying clown story was hysterical. He should send this film to the makers of "The Sopranos", he's a natural Goodfella. Film wise the movie was good, unfortunately in some parts it was brought down by poor dialogue and needed another trip to the writing block to get a bit more umph to the plot.. In other areas of this presentation, the film work, editing, music and production - were all well above average. I rate this a B+

Finally, a GANSTER FILM WITHOUT dENIRO THAT STILL WORKS! Costas Mandylor brilliantly played a man trapped in a situation he cant get out of. Joey P Had No problem with all of his anger and RObert Davi made my feet tingle with excitement. Please make another advrnture for Nick.

All of the guys look and act great. A wonderful low budget goodfella's! Check out the guy who plays Rocco "The Ritz" who is this guy!!! I want more of him!! Robert Davi is intense. Joey Depinto as Vince really makes you hate him. Good job!
