Mob Town

There's no drama, tension or action in this. It's goofy without being funny. There's no reason given why a group of mobsters should be arrested. It's explained later on what they charged with but... ugh. Lots of nice cars in this film though.

It usually takes a lot of action for me to keep my interest but for some reason I watched it straight through and definitely enjoyed it. It broadened my sense of the earlier days when the mob was not as noticed. seemed like a good time to thrive and I can see why...no technology. This was light-hearted and almost funny. Danny A. Abeckaser who played Joe Barbara was a natural. His wife played by Jamie-Lynn Sigler (Meadow Soprano) looked great and was great. This was like a PG mob movie. I enjoyed it till the end. Oh and Genovese was really cool to see. I just cant believe how lame the cops were back then. almost comical.

If your in to learn about the history of the american mafia, this is unfortunately the wrong place to start. its inconsistent already from the start, and the story development feels like walking on starch to avoid drowning., the only positive to say about this flick is the collection of maity fine shining automobiles from the era.

the worst to say about this product must be the dialouges, they bark like john wayne and kirk douglas in their 1950's movies which means both how they say it and what they try to say. the cinematography are either standstill, or far too close up, and the fill in shoots of the environment are stolen from ''america in colours''.,

the grumpy old man felt stained by this doggybag product, i did think saban films knew better than this and its a no recommend from the flufilled north.

Interesting topic - the big meeting of mafia bosses in New York State back in the 50s. It is just hard not to laugh at how the police surveillance is portrayed.

I have a question so if you did so much research, why put the correct dates but in the movie is the middle of the summer?? Come on really?? Ever visited NY in November?? Is practically winter!! Jesus christ at least be accurate.
