The Neighborhood

I saw this film with my girlfriend in a Vancouver theatre and I have to say we were really impressed. I truly enjoyed this film. It was entertaining, thrilling, exciting, heartfelt and had great relationships between the characters. The film had some similarities to other films in the same genre but it also had that something special, that something extra. I liked the backstory, the younger versions of the characters and how it showed their relationships back when and then into present day. I read about this film after watching it and I can appreciate this Canadian filmmakers approach to film making. His timeline and the story he created - that's impressive and aspiring to me as a fellow Canadian Graduate in Fine Arts and Film Production. The Actor's played their parts with perfect conviction and raw energy. This film had a pretty impressive cast and I think they did the story a great justice. If you get the chance to see this film I think you will find it rather enjoyable and entertained nonetheless.

Frank D'Angelo hits it over the park with The Neighborhood. I've seen several of Frank D'Angelo's movies and this one is a great work of art. A totally realistic story that is thoughtfully written and with a cast performance from some of the best actors that have ever hit the screen. Giancarlo Giannini, Franco Nero, Danny Aiello, Burt Young, John Savage, and there's many more, all have contributed to the validity of this drama with deep characters that come off the page. And I would be a missed if I did not mention Frank D'Angelo's performance in this film. He carries the film like a maestro in an orchestra, with every actor playing off him so perfect, making every move and scene very calculated and deliberate that makes it a joy to watch. Bravo, Bravo, for an outstanding job all around. If you liked Goodfellas or The Godfather, this is a film for you.

They say fine wine gets better with age, we'll the same can be said with Frank D'Angelo films. Every film that he produces gets even better the last and The Neighborhood delivers on every cylinder - story, cast, music and creativity. The Neighborhood is raw and edgy which is a typical D'Angelo film style in the way he shoots and frames his characters. The story is authentic and the actors that he's chosen for the main roles to tell his story are heavy weights that deliver knock out punches; Franco Nero (Django Unchained), Giancarlo Giannini (Casino Royale), Burt Young (Rocky), John Savage (The Deer Hunter) and these are just a few. I have seen most of Frank D'Angelo's movies and I am a fan of his style, of movie-making, which is not typical Hollywood. He continues to break the rules which makes his movies so interesting to watch. Like David Lynch, Alfred Hitchcock, Quentin Tarantino, they created masterpieces of art. This is Frank D'Angelo's latest piece of art and I look forward to his next.

Amateur filmaker in a B movie at best. Are the 8, 9 and 10 reviews made by family and friends of the director/project?

I watched The Neighborhood in California with a friend, he is a big fan of Frank D'Angelo's films and was all excited about this new film as it was having a big theatrical release, so he insisted we go see it. I did not know what to expect, I have never seen one of his films but since Danny Aiello and a lot of other actors that I recognized were starring in it I figured it must be decent. Well, there were lots of people in the theater so that was a good sign. I am glad that he pushed for us to see the film because it's a great film and we enjoyed it extremely. After the movie, we started reciting the lines from different scenes to each other just like we did with Good Fellas and The Godfather. We had a great night, with a very memorable movie. Can't wait until it comes to television or DVD so I can watch it again.
