Gangster land

I have seen some shocking movies over the years but this one really takes the cake. Some fairly talented actors have blotted their careers with this pile of faecal matter. The writer should be black listed and the director fitted with concrete slippers and taken on a one way fishing trip.

Since others have adequately furnished accurate reviews of this movie's many shortcomings, I'll only add that there's a very GOOD reason I found my Blu-Ray disc selling for one ONE DOLLAR in a discount store. It's already been donated to charity.

If you're a fan of mob movies, this will be a heavy disappointment. The storyline isnt that engaging as much as the actors try to do their best to imitate the gangsters of the 20s/30s

The film is done well enough and the story is compelling. The setups are often theatre and the play as well. It is however a good rendering that is probably more accurate than the hollywood threatment so far.

Where I found myself very entertained by this movie and the excellent performances within it (especially by the lead and the guy playing Al Capone), there are MAJOR flaws in this movie. The biggest of these is the pacing. Major time jumps happen constantly. This film could've benefited from a two-hour runtime. Seriously.

Overall, I really enjoyed it. I think this director tried his best, and actually accomplished some awesome work, here. But it needs some re-editing hahah.
