Featured reviews
The plot seems to involve an upstart drug-lord/New York mafia dude/pasty white business man (David Henry Keller) who's looking to take over the crack cocaine market, and starts taking out his competitors. At the same time he decides the media is paying too much attention to his illicit goings-on, and hires a flack with bad facial hair (Johnny Stumper) to clean up his image. La Motta is the flick's only redeeming trait as the disapproving "Godfather" of New York.
The mob figures were believable.
Especially good was the main bodyguard of the Jake LaMotta character.
The patter of the mob people also rang true.
And the choice of locations was believable.
For example, the crummy furniture district where the head man's "office" was located.
For those here who complain about the number of shots the pr man turned mob fighter missed, remember all the cocaine he took in the course of the movie. That doesn't help your aim.
The movie was filled with totally believable patter from the crime characters.
