Very Real!

This is a good mafia movie with a good story, good acting and scenery. I have watched a lot of mafia movies in my time and I think this movie is underrated. The story is not unlike any other mafia movies, about robbing each other and killing everyone in the way. This is more about the lifestyle and the business side of the mafia. It shows you a whole new perspective on how the mob operates, it's like a real business with criminal activity. Very entertaining, great cast of characters, and funny at times especially Tony Rosato. Loved him from SCTV and SNL. I can see a series coming out of this movie. If you get a chance watch it,it's nothing like you've seen before.

I've always wanted to see this movie

I've heard so much about this movie and finally got to see it. I did not know what to expect, but the film is definitely worth a view if you're into mob movies. Frank D'Angelo and Nick Mancuso star as prominent mob figures who both do things in their own way. I like the juxtaposition of both characters, because you never know if one of them is going to knock the other off at some point. In fact I like the chemistry of the entire cast especially John Savage and Margot Kidder, they always bring their 'A' game. This movie is not a big budget movie but makes up for it in substance. I hope you enjoy the movie as it is now one of my favourite mob movies.

Real Gangsters is an original!

Finally got to watch it. I loved this film, watched it twice on the weekend. This is not a sugar coated mob film. Need to accept it for what it is - an entertaining action flick with a sprinkle of realism. The film is very well shot, visually enticing with good acting. How can you go wrong with a seasoned cast like Robert Loggia, Steven Bauer, John Savage, Margot Kidder, Nick Mancuso and many more. Also surprisingly Frank D'Angelo for a first time film performance was particularly good in his role. Lots of intense scenes with drama and classic crime scenarios that I have not seen in other mob films. I really likes some of the scenes where they threw in a few lines of Italian dialogue, it really hit home with me being of Italian background. It's not a big budget film but it's an entertaining film. I recommend it.

Enjoyed it!!

I watched it on Rogers on demand with my girlfriend, for her the language was a bit too much, but for me I was right into it, because mob movies are one of my guilty pleasures. This movie felt real because I know guys that actually act and speak like some of the characters in the film. For the most part, the director pulls this one off pretty well, at least for what kind of movie he was trying to direct. I read some reviews (mostly women) who did not like the movie, we'll if you're expecting a love story forget it. Real Gangsters doesn't pretend to be something it's not, it's a mob film through and through with a lot drama, violence and good performances by a great cast. Enjoy it for what it is!

Great Drama - As Real As It Gets!

When I heard it was coming on Rogers on Demand I couldn't wait to see it mostly out of curiosity. It's a little hard to find on Rogers but I finally watched it yesterday. it's under the Movies category "Just In". It starts off with Frank D'Angelo's character introducing us to what is his life as a mobster and the scenario in which he got there. Right away you are captured in this drama by his words, the language and the way the scene is shot. It sucks you in and you feel like you are right in the story, and it continues from there just getting better and better, you're like a fly on the wall in a real mob family. Great cast, great drama. Every movie has it's critics but for me Real gangsters could be the next Sopranos, it's that good.
