La Loi de la mafia

When I see Samuel L Jackson name in the credits, I usually check it out. But this is not what you would expect. It's early Sam (I call him Sam, cuz I got it like that lol). He's has hair including the big bald spot. He hasn't picked up the weight (amazing what money, food and age will do to or for you lol). He's in the movie, but they spend the majority of the time trying to find out who killed him. The cast isn't bad, the acting is good. The storyline is somewhat predictable, but what mob movie isn't lol. This is not a movie night flick. Late night, Saturday or Sunday afternoon works. Nuff Said Mike Out. 0.

I saw this as part of the In the Line of Fire series of films and its loosely based on true facts. However the interesting part is when we have Samuel L Jackson at the beginning who plays the DEA agent shot dead by Gus Farace (Tony Danza) a ruthless bad guy freshly released from jail.

Once Jackson is gone so will your interest in the film despite the best efforts of Ted Levine playing agent from the US Attorney's office who leads the FBI manhunt which includes harassing the mob who in turn go after Farace to silence him.

Tony Danza seems to be having fun as playing the low rent gangster, makes a change from Who's the Boss I guess but the actors are hampered down by a poor and mundane script and the film seems overlong.
