I came across this movie on DVD. It's the kind of movie that would never be your first choice to hire from the video store.If the movie you want is out then you'll pick up something like this.Well it's got some guys from The Sopranos in it (Uncle Junior & Pussy),so you think "I'll give this a watch" but you're really not really happy with your choice in your heart. Part of you suspects that it sucks.Well, does it?The answer- Yes and No. Firstly, it's well-shot on great locations and the acting is generally good(Frank Vincent could have played the part of Sal in his sleep).Pussy from The Sopranos plays a Pussy clone and Uncle Junior plays a priest.The plot is fairly predictable and has a really sordid rape scene which is shown in an unecessarily graphic manner.The characters are ultra-dull and you really do not care what happens to them by the end of the movie. Still, Michael Sergio's direction shows promise and while the movie is less than great it is not bad. Mind you, my expectations were not high on that wet Thursday afternoon in the video store.

Ten minutes worth of story stretched out into the better part of two hours. When nothing of any significance had happened at the halfway point I should have left. But, ever hopeful, I stayed. And left with a feeling of guilt for having wasted the time. Acting was OK, but the story line is so transparent and weak. The script is about as lame as it could get, but again, stretching out the ten minute plot doesn't leave a whole lot of room for good dialogue.

Why no one has realized Jordan Bayne's talent on a way larger scale is beyond me. The others are good, they have a little ninch in the entertainment 'world' but wow.. Jordan Bayne RULES!

The movie, for it's limited budget, was obviously a work of the heart. It's also obvious, with movies like this, that it shows just who has and who doesn't have talent. These kinds of movies are very telling as to whether a person has a true ability or if they're just a temporary 'flavor of the month'.

I have to admit to being disappointed that the Indy film avenue is letting the more mainstream actors/actresses in on these films. I do not watch movies to see Friends or Tom Cruise's ex wife. I watch Indy films to watch the REAL talent. Someone needs to hit the talent in this line of film actors and actresses with a spotlight because they totally rock.

This is the type of film that gets shown on early AM cheap cable. It's an inarticulate thug movie disguised as some sort of heavenly message. With the exception of Melia and Brian Vincent, who play convincing junk addicts, the performances are paper-thin, as is Sergio's self-important script. The entire theater audibly moaned in disgust in one particularly revolting scene in which the villain humiliates his wife over a bar table in order to prove a violently brain-dead point to his unarmed enemy. Plot holes and verging on a dozen crying scenes make this movie banal and boring!

I have to admit that I'm a sucker for movies about New York street life, but that doesn't mean I sit through all of them. This one I did, with pleasure. Under Hellgate Bridge has plenty of the prerequisite grit and guns and that's fine, but it's also got A STORY. Actually a very compelling story. Surprise. Some substance behind the style. It's fun to find yourself actually wondering what's going to happen to these characters instead of wondering how they did that 20 minute dolly shot.

The actor Brian Vincent is left out of the Biography, I don't know why: In a blistering performance, he plays a lead role along with the brilliant Jonathen Lapaglia and an emotionly raw and fantastic Michael Rodrick. I just saw the film at the Montreal Film Festival. It is an amazing ensemble piece reminesant of Scorse's "Mean Streets". It's dynamic, gains real power and leads powerfully to a thrilling conclusion. The cinematography is amazing and the directing top notch. This film moved me and the people I saw it with. I hope it can be seen by a large au

This is an excellent film, a must see. Michael Sergio's direction is the best and the cast is topnotch! Michael Rodrick does a fantastic portrayal as Ryan, former bad boy turned hero. Jonathan LaPaglia is the perfect villain and the gorgeous Jordan Bayne was wonderful as Ryan's love interest. The rest of the cast, Dominic Chianese, Vincent Pastore, Frank Vincent, Brian Vincent, Careena Melia, and Kristen Lee Kelly rounded out the film with their great performances.

Well shot and terrific acting this film grabs and harnesses the energy of the true New York rough and tough underworld. Director Mike Sergio does a wonderful job capturing New York and proving that these streets should never be emulated anywhere else in the world. Former Another World (my girldfriend watched) actor Michael Rodrick proved that he can definately hold his own on screen with name talent...ie Big Pussy and Uncle Junior from The Sopranos...

I'd say definately worth watching....I heard that it was going to be released on DVD...we'll see.

I recently saw this film at the Nashville Independent Film Festival where it won the top award, and it's obvious why. The acting was amazing.... everyone in the audience was blown away.

This is a beautifully shot, well directed and produced independent film with a compelling story involving two old rivals who confront each other in a battle for love and power on the mean streets of New York City. Can't wait for it to open

I chose to watch this movie because Jonathan LaPaglia (who plays Vincent) is one of my favorite actors. In this movie he plays a bad guy which is not a role he usually plays, but does a good job anyway. Overall, the movie had a good cast and was realistic. This is a movie that speaks truths about life, drugs, jealousy, and death. It shows how even though at times it feels like you're trapped and there is no way out, somehow if you search hard enough, you will always find a way out. "Under Hellgate Bridge" also depicts the fact that some people will never change, no matter what. Some people are destined to never change their ways while others are destined to overcome their problems and change their lives. This movie portrays humanity: the cruel, the vengeful, the greedy, the innocent, the weak, and the ones who fight to live a life that no one is determined to give them.

The movie was good,but the cast was terrific.Talk about a talented group of young actors.It reminds me of the movie the outsiders with such talent about to explode.Jordan Bayne (Carla)is a stunning actress.She has an alluring quality that draws you into her depths.What a soulful actor and she's absolutely gorgeous.Can't wait to see her and the other actors in future films.

this is a very moving film that i look forward to taking my friends to in the theaters. the performances are strong, watch for jordan bayne and brian vincent. the look of the film and the direction are superb. this is a passionate and tragic film. i loved it.

Under Hellgate Bridge is an independent-film darling with half the cast of The Sopranos -- a must-see for any over of New York mafia cinema. Check out the early starring role for Michael Rodrick, who is now appearing on Castle Rock.

I was attracted to this garbage by the information button on sky tv which said "Uncle Junior and Big Pussy of the sopranos star in this film." Absolute tripe their roles are small and non essential, both play easily dispensable characters and i have the feeling these two very fine actors were simply added to promote a film which has no real originality and nothing to teach us. This film has alot of dialogue which could have made the film more mental that physical but the speeches are unsatisfying and repetitive.

Poorly made, made me poorly
