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.

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.

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.

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.

There are a lot of good mafia movies. This is not one of them. The whole films feels like a school project. Slow story, slow dialogues, experienced actors acts like this is their first time on screen.. 90 minutes wasted..
