Featured reviews
I was really surprised with the IMDb User Rating of 2.9 for this movie. I saw an imported DVD without subtitles, and I missed some words because of the accent and way of speaking of John Novak, but I really found "Vendetta, No Conscience, No Merci" a powerful and dramatic movie of mob and revenge. The major problem is the miscast John Novak, who has no resemblance with Daniel Baldwin, becoming hard to believe that they are brothers. His way of speaking without moving the lips is also awful. My vote is eight.
Title (Brazil): Not available, but the imported DVD I saw is called "Vendetta, No Conscience, No Merci"
Hats off to John Novak, the straight-laced brother with political aspirations and a very suprising Daniel Baldwin, who, as far as I have seen, gives the performance of his career as the criminal brother who has a good heart somewhere deep inside but can't seem to save himself as he becomes steeped deeper and deeper into trouble. Also, a nice debut for director, Daniel McCarthy.
Definitely worth a look.
Basically its the story of an Irish family in Boston where some end up as good guys and some as bad. Daniel Baldwin stars as the head of the Irish Mafia who is running into trouble.
I really can't say much about this movie. I wanted so much to like it but was forced to keep repeating "This should be better, this should be better" over and over to prevent my frustration from harming the TV.
Its not quite that bad, and it is worth seeing on cable. I just wish it was better.
