Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

photo-12 It was made in my hometown Philly, that's the only reason I watched it. That and I'm a big fan of cops & wops flicks. This one left way too much to be desired with respect to the overall acting quality, and to hint that it could be compared to the Sopranos is ludicrous. It seemed more like a documentary in overall content presentation.I agree with the pans it has received in the more timely comments that have been posted. For me, it was like going back to the block for a little while, and taking in the scenery. Reading some of the favorable comments it received made me wonder if the writers of same were made an offer they couldn't refuse.

chuchutwain01 I just don't know where to begin, this piece of crap was nothing but a waste of time for all involved. The acting was sad, it brought tears to my eyes, tears of laughter. If gangsters were to talk like they did in this major bomb, their victims would just laugh at them and give them a back hand.I had worked in a bar in south Philly which may have had some mob connections, and I guarantee they would take of the portrayals in this flick. I can't imagine the set decorator ever stepped into an Italian house, because, he had everything all wrong, the fight scenes were worse than bad they were terrible. The whole thing just makes me sick, I probably shouldn't made any comments, but I just had to get this off my chest. There is no mistaking this bomb to the Sopranos.

dbborroughs This far from particularly anything mafia movie is not worth bothering with. Its the story of two generations of gangsters in Philadelphia doing what gangsters do.Its loaded with low level character actors, most of whom have made their careers playing these sort of roles. While they may be fine in support, here, as leads, they look more than a bit uncertain.The real problem with this is the direction and the script which are on the bad TV movie level. I was laughing at it as the opening court room scene began. As the scene went on the film made me squirm more and more. This wasn't real, it was someones confused TV recollection of realityDon't watch this. It has moments of okayness, but mostly its just bad gangster dress up.2 out of 10

aaronia2000 I saw this film at a screening and it can't help but be compared to the Sopranos. The three leading characters of this film are very intriguing, all with an interesting dynamic or relationship. I found that the relationship between the father (John Costanza) and his son (Sal Mazzotta) the most intriguing. Costanzo's softer side is shown when we realize that he just wants to take care of his son and his family, and that he's not in it just for the money, which makes their relationship unique for a Mafia film. As we watch the Mafia family suffer one tragedy after another, we realize this is not just another Mafia movie. Mazzotta and Vito's (Leo Rossi) relationship was also very interesting, particularly in the latter part of the film where their association takes a much uglier turn. Leo Rossi's performance was another one that had me hooked, I guessed early on what was going to happen between them but it didn't dampen the effect on the film for me at all. The acting was very good and unusual characters made this film just as interesting as the Sopranos, which I really am hooked on. I recommend this if you are ready for graphic violence.
