Gangues do Brooklin

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!

I already wanted to see 1000 Times More Brutal before I found out the ex member of The Jerky Boys Kamal Ahmed wrote & directed it but after I found out, it made me want to see it even more.The movie starts out r....e....a....l slow but after 30+ minutes in, things start to get interesting & it was good from then on.It's definitely worth waiting around for.I think my favorite thing about the movie was not just the bits of humor here & there but that it wasn't a BIG Hollywood production.If it was, it wouldn't have been as good.The characters felt real like you actually might run into them on the street even though you wouldn't want to.The movie wasn't full of well manicured lawns, shiny brand new cars, HUGE houses out of something on Extreme Home Makeover or any of that typical Hollywood garbage that they like to put into each & every movie they make.If you like Mafia/Crime movies then I think you might like 1000 Times More Brutal (Why not give it a shot?) Kamal Ahmed picked out the perfect title for this movie because not only was the beginning brutal but the ending was as well.It comes out of nowhere & then, BAM!!! If you're looking for a typical Hollywood Mafia movie, forget about it.This movie is NOT the 1

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?

As far as mafia B movies. This held its own. I watched it randomly at 5 am when I couldn't sleep. It had a decent plot and typical mafia style action. Not bad at all if you are into the genre. There are a lot of good movies on Amazon with Sopranos cast members
