Brutal

After reading the storyline it sounded like a good idea for a movie but I have to admit, I was somewhat put off by it's rather low score. But, on reading the reviews people had taken the time to post, I came to the conclusion I would give this film a go. Well am I ever glad I did. I love mobster style movies and this one is very good at what it does. Obviously low budget, but don't let that distract you from what is a well written and mostly well acted movie. The lead actor does especially well and should go on to bigger if not better things. Yes there are a few faces you will recognise, but for most it, the actors you don't know do a very good job. It was not the most original of movies but, then again, what movies these days are original. I also felt that it could have been maybe another 15mins in length to show a few more details about the main characters person life. But, all in all I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and would recommend it to anyone who cares more about a films plot than it's budget, especially if they enjoy gangster style movies.

I only decided to see/watch this film because of Peter Greene, and I was not disappointed. For a low-budget indie, it was pretty enjoyable. The entire cast was good, and except for maybe a small scene here and there, this effort deserves some applause.

It has me thinking what a shame so many big budget movies are actually far less engaging than this was. However, I will say that perhaps this type of story/script/cast are more geared toward an East coast audience. Being from NY, I think it's one of the reasons that I was able to enjoy it. We know people like this in real life so while of course the circumstances for the characters got really ugly (not seen in real life) it was like a few guys you know about the block, that this would be entirely possible.

OK, great concept of a film, no denying that, but even with the occasional good actors thrown in, there are small details that ruin it in my personal opinion.

Lets take the moment at around 21 minutes into the film...

Massive guy struggles to light his cigar...

Have the film crew never heard of cigar cutters?

Prior to that, the mob would not even entertain meeting a nobody in public, period, not to mention have the patients of a saint to listen to so called nobody. They always want proof of tale, not to mention proof of who is talking to that, a pat down is not enough to tell if someone is wired for example.

Im halfway through the film as I write this, so will add more as and when I can. If you want that is?

This is an indie movie so don't expect some slick Hollywood film. That being said, the grittiness adds to believability of the film. It has a strong plot, sets the mood well and if you are a fan of gangster films, this is closer to reality than any Hollywood film. I'm Italian-American from NY and the characters were believable and recognizable. The director did a good job showing us a slice a life. Some of the actors were better than others ( I thought the lead role needed a stronger actor) and there were parts that could have moved along a little faster but overall the film was fun and I'd like to see more from the film-maker.

(This review was deleted by IMDb based on an abuse report filed by another user) Come on people what is going on? so many real bad films, 2012 is really going down as the year for really really bad B grade crappy films, and this one is up there with the worst, or should that be the best of the worst? The acting is as wooden as a stick, and I am convinced their was no director on set! The script tries way to hard with lots of profanity, a clear sign of a low quality production. It does star two know faces we have seen before on the big screen, and they clearly stand out as the real actors, the rest are very forgettable.

I love a good gangster film, but this ain't one of them, it is just another poor attempt to get your money.

Don't watch this, as life is just to short, 1 out of 10!

UPDATE!!! as per IMDb stats 25 out of 55 voters gave this film a 10! what does that tell you? it rates higher then The Godfather, rates higher then Goodfellas, get my drift, they are scammers or worked on this film! VOTE THIS CRAP DOWN PEOPLE, that way we might stamp this crap out!
