The Neighborhood

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.

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.

Saw this because I used to watch Franco Nero in old spaghetti westerns and I just wanted to relive my youth.I heard About Frank D'Angelo as amateur film maker but this movie was not amateur. It was different, reminded me of when filmmakers tried to be artsy and edgy. Common gangster story but the acting was some old school, classic acting that I haven't seen since I watched Goodfellas. Franco Nero is a legendary man but I cant deny Giancarlo Giannini, brilliant. This Was something different, for sure I would watch another D'Angelo film as long as he doesn't sell out and become commercial like everyone else.

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.

So I saw this downtown. I saw billboards everywhere and honestly what else is there too watch ( I go to the movies every week and have seen everything in theaters this year) I was so happy I saw this, it honestly was artsy as hell and thats what I want to see. It just seemed so creativley done and the acting was awesome. I only give it an 8 because I think their could have been a more consistent story line but I mean Im picky so. Good job frank dangelo i know your from Toronto from reading your bio and at least someone has the guts to make something that isn't a complete pile of SH** ! I loved it I would actually watch it again.
