This is the film that started it all for Ciro Dapagio's reign as it has everything you can ask for: Action, fast moving, clever twists and excellent acting with stellar cast and crew. The writing was on point and impeccable, gritty and keeps you sitting on the edge of your seat throughout from beginning to end it has you drawn it to the story that takes place after the main character Mike White comes home after serving his lengthy prison sentence to a different world and how he handles it all..Lots of fast moving scenes and excellent acting by
Ciro, James Russo, Robert LaSardo and many other great talents..A tale of Cosa Nostra that is unique and gritty and Ciro Dapagio's performance brings it all home!
MobKing is a gripping, edgy thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat. The cast and creative team created a beautifully shot and compelling story. The thematic elements, beautiful locations and editing help build the world around the White family and those around them. The ending does a great job of setting up a potential sequel.
When Mike White is finally freed from prison, what should have been a happy homecoming turns into a whirlwind of danger. The complications of a life rooted in the mob is central in this cautionary tale.
I look forward to seeing the next chapter of this saga. Congratulations to the cast and crew!

I cannot believe I did not know about this film. I must admit, I sat down to watch it without much enthusiasm. Actually, I planned to have it playing in the background while I did paperwork. WELL, I was hooked right from the beginning in the prison scene. A very unique and intense way to start a movie.
Slowly and effectively, I was sucked into the story. Trying to figure out who was who and who did what and what was about to occur as I always do. I was happily fooled at every turn. The ending was slightly predictable but it left a nice opening (or closing) for a Mobking 2 and that made me happy!
I never got that work done as I immediately watched it two more times, also as I usually do when I love a film and I loved this one!!!

Mobking is a tour de force film, starring Ciro Dapagio, for whom the film is based on, as Mike White.
This is an adrenaline rushing event from start to finish. Mobking is masterfully acted with a superb supporting cast; portraying a screenplay that is beyond captivating. Bravo!! This movie is well deserving of the accolades and awards it has already recieved.
I have waited a long time for the release of a film in the Mob/ Crime genre that rivals its predecessors, with a new and explosive take in the world of la casa nostra. Well, here it is!
A must see movie experience you will not forget!!

I have been looking forward to this release and here it is. Full of characters you'll love and hate. Lots of suspense, plot twists and dramatic moments which will surely hold your attention. I suggest buying over renting as it's well worth watching again. This cinematic masterpiece has left room for a continuation which I hope will be coming. I love that it has familiar faces along side new ones. Knowing Ciro's backstory and being a long time fan of his has made this all the more enjoyable to see come to life on the big screen. Cannot wait to see what is next to come for all who were involved.

I love watching these guys on camera! I love Italian mobster flicks and this one is right up there with the others! Sure Marty Scorsese and some others top it but it has life in it just as the others do. Budget seems like it was kinda lower but for what it was, it came out nice. I say give it a watch and you'll find it fun! It doesn't involve crazy explosions or planes and tranes but it's a solid drama with fun moments. Definitely worth checking it out! The Cinematography was nice and the characters were interesting. I wonder if they'll explore doing a sequel since the ending seemed to lead somewhere.
This movie was so powerful and so well put together with everything from directing, acting, and producing. The special events were second to NONE. I have seen a lot of Mob movies in my lifetime and this one is unlike any other. It keeps you on the edge of your seat, in fact I watched it twice in a row. It was that good. Ciro Dapagio is one hell of an actor. His talent, creativeness, and determination has made this one of the best movies I've even seen. Definitely top quality. In fact, every actor was suburb. WOW WOW WOW! I wish I could give it a million stars. BRAVO TO THE WHOLE CAST AND CREW!!!!!

Mobkings was everything and more! Truly well made and kept me on the edge of my seat. Beginning to end, the movie was amazing. The suspense of the storyline built was beyond what I expected, the action didn't stop as the suspense built it was everything and more. The actors, especially Ciro Dapagio did a phenomenal job. Well made, well written and directed. I can't wait to see where this leads this production and I hope there is something in the works and releasing soon. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys suspense, MobKings is the movie to watch. It will keep you wanting to see more. Great movie.

Now this is how a movie is made. From James Russo to Oksana Lada to Artie Pasquale this film is full of an incredible cast including new actors who truly made this a must see this year. Stellar performance by Elisabetta Fantone and her on screen daughter Celine Alva. Magnificent film work by the master himself Jokes Yanes. Stand out performance by Michael Villar who will have you screaming at the screen. This powerhouse film is a true example of what persistence, dedication and love of what you do is. You will not want to leave your seat and miss any part of it. Job well done to Hawk Meisenbach who plays "young Mike" and to the man himself, Ciro Dapagio this is something to be proud of.

I finally had a opportunity to watch MobKing and was not disappointed. The anticipated release had been building for sometime now and was worth the wait. This was better than expected, and really showcases the talent of each actor involved in the production. I've seen a little buzz going around that something new is in the works and I know that it will be just as riveting as what's already been created. Seeing the changes made from the private screening to the final product was outstanding. The story line is easy to follow, and holds your attention through out. Congratulations to the cast and crew for putting together something fresh, creative and worth watching again.

Great Mob film! I have been awaiting this release throughout the pandemic and it was worth the wait! You can see all of the collaborative efforts put in to this film. Very realistic experiences,unfortunately these things actually happen 🤦♀️. I am very impressed with the writers, production crew, makeup and actors for their professionalism & dedication to creating this film. MobKing is action packed with many angles of scenarios that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The scenes make you have all kinds of feels from heartwarming, to disgust as well as fear for ever getting involved with the wrong crowd. I applaud you all! Great job! I highly recommend this. Very entertaining. Respect 👊🙌👏👏👏

Mobking is extremely well written, with great production value! Angles and lighting were so essential to the success of this film, and they nailed it!! The suspence they were able to create was the driving force behind this films engine. Cinematography and writing were all on point as well! They paid much attention to detail, with special effects and action sequences as well. Generally those types of scenes are very difficult to pull off, and they made it look super realistic. Great cast and well acted!!! I look forward to seeing more Mobking in the future!! Truly left me wanting more!! Overall, a superb job!

I was very excited to watch this movie as I'm a huge fan of mob inspired movies. I don't think there is one out there that I haven't seen. I learned of Mobking through a mutual friend on instagram so I watched it that very night my friend introduced me to it. From the minute this movie started it had me completely involved. Each actor had me believing that they were really that person so believable. The story line kept me interested and on the edge of my seat. There was the perfect amount of intrigue and bloodlust. I have to say that the only disappointment is that I wanted it to be a series so I could keep on watching more. The director, cast, and crew did an amazing job! I can't wait to see what comes next from this director.

This was a great film! I know giving a 10 is high but if I could I woould give it a 100. It was gripping, made you think, easy to follow and a very different mob movie.
Here "Across The Pond" we eagerly await the next big film from America and Mobking was a long time coming. It had the usual violent episodes in it but it showed the life as it really is. Loyalty is scarce and a real hero is what holds it all together.
I cannot remember a movie that ever showed how life is when a person returns home after serving time! Returning to the "Family" that's important is far more important than returning to the family that caused the prison sentence in the first place.
To paraphrase a line from Godfather 3, "Just when Mike thought he was out, they pulled him right back in!" For these reasons, it's a TEN!

MobKing, follows Mike White, a lifelong confidant of the notorious Sasso Crime Family of South Florida, who is released from prison after a lengthy sentence. When he returns home, he quickly realizes that life back on the outside isn't turning out the way he hoped or planned.
The film is a gritty, fast-paced thriller that delivers on its promise of action and suspense. The performances are all solid, with Dapagio giving a particularly strong performance as the conflicted Mike White. The direction is confident, and the film is well-shot, with some impressive and well-choreographed action sequences.
Overall, MobKing is a solid crime thriller that is sure to entertain fans of the genre. The film is well-made and features strong performances. If you are looking for a gritty, suspenseful, and action-packed film, then MobKing is worth checking out.

This movie was well worth the wait !! Amazing cast, amazing crew, great dialogue. The script was written VERY WELL. The movie flow is great as well, not a moment of boredom. Each scene keeps you at the edge of your seat. The music was great as well it went well with the theme. Ciro Dapagio did an outstanding job playing the character of Mike White. Each scene was hypnotizing. You can feel the characters anger, anguish, worry, pain, love and at moments a feeling of serenity. Oh before I forget, the fight scene was choreographed in an OUTSTANDING manner!! Each actor did an outstanding job, you can really tell that hard work and dedication was put into this project. I cannot wait to see if this will become a sequel !!! Looking forward to all CDP projects. Job well done guys!

I've been waiting for a movie like this for a very long time! The music acting and story line will bring you right into Mike White's world. This movie is cast perfectly!! Ciro Dapagio is the most talented actor, producer and director that I have ever seen. Brilliant in every way that a movie should be to draw you into an exciting world of darkness and danger around every turn.
The actors are some of my favorites and they did not disappoint. I highly recommend MobKing to anyone looking for a fresh look at the inner workings of the Mafia. I bought the movie rather than rented because I know I'll watch it again and again..
