Brutal

OK, great concept of a film, no denying that, but even with the occasional good actors thrown in, there are small details that ruin it in my personal opinion.

Lets take the moment at around 21 minutes into the film...

Massive guy struggles to light his cigar...

Have the film crew never heard of cigar cutters?

Prior to that, the mob would not even entertain meeting a nobody in public, period, not to mention have the patients of a saint to listen to so called nobody. They always want proof of tale, not to mention proof of who is talking to that, a pat down is not enough to tell if someone is wired for example.

Im halfway through the film as I write this, so will add more as and when I can. If you want that is?

As far as mafia B movies. This held its own. I watched it randomly at 5 am when I couldn't sleep. It had a decent plot and typical mafia style action. Not bad at all if you are into the genre. There are a lot of good movies on Amazon with Sopranos cast members

Brutal beats down, without mercy, any mob movie preconceptions you might have. Right from the start you get pulled into the story and you can't help but feel yourself wondering, what's my next move? What would i do in this situation? But then, the story keeps moving along and you are in another situation altogether. I also found this movie original very entertaining with great acting by all, especially the part played by the ex-Soprano tough guy. The dialog and interplay between the main characters was very genuine and real. These guys go from good buddies to good fellas and back with many twists and turns. It does not get much better than Brutal. I highly recommend this movie.

I already wanted to see 1000 Times More Brutal before I found out the ex member of The Jerky Boys Kamal Ahmed wrote & directed it but after I found out, it made me want to see it even more.The movie starts out r....e....a....l slow but after 30+ minutes in, things start to get interesting & it was good from then on.It's definitely worth waiting around for.I think my favorite thing about the movie was not just the bits of humor here & there but that it wasn't a BIG Hollywood production.If it was, it wouldn't have been as good.The characters felt real like you actually might run into them on the street even though you wouldn't want to.The movie wasn't full of well manicured lawns, shiny brand new cars, HUGE houses out of something on Extreme Home Makeover or any of that typical Hollywood garbage that they like to put into each & every movie they make.If you like Mafia/Crime movies then I think you might like 1000 Times More Brutal (Why not give it a shot?) Kamal Ahmed picked out the perfect title for this movie because not only was the beginning brutal but the ending was as well.It comes out of nowhere & then, BAM!!! If you're looking for a typical Hollywood Mafia movie, forget about it.This movie is NOT the 1

I enjoyed the film very much! I grew up in a similar neighborhood and appreciated the indie style and grittiness of the story as it added real value. If you read thru the previous comments there are pro's and con's to every story however, this story grabs you and keeps you going thru the tale as it unfolds with a few surprises as well. I was entertained and interested to see where it was going with out figuring out the ending half way thru, which is a plus these days in traditional Hollywood films. The film maker gets my vote, the actors were believable some more than others and there are a few situations in the film that only people who have lived them would only understand which gives it an authentic appeal. It's worth a few hours of your investment for this story to be told !
