Prince of Central Park

One of two movies that Steven Seagal produced with Julius R. Nasso that he didn't actually star in and is more of a curiosity than anything. It actually has a decent supporting cast that includes Harvey Keitel, Danny Aiello, Kathleen Turner, and Cathy Moriarty, however the material they were given to work with was hackneyed at best. The "star" of the film is one Frankie Nasso. I'll give you one guess as to how he got the job... Other than being miscast, he just didn't have a great screen presence. Beyond that, there were occasional glimpses of something compelling beneath the surface, with major plot themes involving the foster care system and homelessness. But again, they weren't dealt with adequately. This was a remake of an obscure 1970's TV movie, and this felt very much like something that should also have gone straight to TV (or video). Still, it wasn't all bad. There was some decent music on the soundtrack, and the supporting cast did a lot to make this hokum go down a little easier than it might have without them.
