Ribisi is always good and he gives a great performance. I can;t say the rest of the cast does. The mother character is nothing too special and the lead is mediocre. The whole mob feel gets lost when Tommy Lee makes his appearance. It starts out with the cliché, voice over done by the lead character as all mob movies do. There is no real description of the rise of Joey(Ribisi's Character) to mob boss. It was a story based on a Philadelphia mafia, I was thinking Joey Merlino but I guess not because of the ending. All in all the movie was not that bad. I recommend "Gotti" or "Goodfellas" first though. No major players in this one but it will hold your attention. I wish there was more story of the kids growing up into mob guys but they skip that and head right into adulthood.

With a low budget I guess they did a good job. There's a fat gal in it that I think is wearing a costume which looks pretty good. The story was long and boring. The sex scenes added nothing to the story. Seemed like a lot of scenes could of made the editing room floor. I wish there was more background on the killer and maybe more on the cop. With no epilouge I really didn't feel for the characters like I should of. I hope there is no sequel to this because most likely I will see it. "Saw" is a better choice if you want a gore movie that makes you cringe and wanting more at the same time. This movie doesn't make you want more.
