ChikPapa Very disappointed :(

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Aspen Orson There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

rlh974 This movie might have been enjoyable if the dialog was intelligible but between the marble mouthed delivery of most of the male cast and the intrusive background noise it was nearly impossible to follow what the characters were saying.I appreciate the chiaroscuro aspects of the photography but this film takes noir into the heart of darkness. A good part of the action and some critical scenes are shot under the light of the new moon.When there is no light at all I suppose there's no need for players, sets or crew except for the sound people and we've already dealt with them.

no_spm_brazil Not even worth the price of a rental. This movie stunk, from the acting to the cinematography. I rented this hoping that if was a fraction as good as Goodfellows, it might be worth watching; especially since there aren't many good movies about the Irish mafia.The narrator started off by stating how notoriously mean these "Westies" were, but they certainly were not anything special in this movie. Yeah, a couple of action scenes with cliché tough talk, but mostly just bad dialog and dancing, riddled with a few fist fights with too much fake blood. Watching William Baldwin try to "act" the tough guy is like watching Lisa Lampanelli act sexy (no offense to Lisa!). Baldwin was just horrible, as was Jim Breuer(Half Baked), was that supposed to be a joke? I could go on, but it would just be waste of time.I give it a 2/10, just because there are some movies that are worse.

JOROB32849 good story, great cast, good acting---a low budget sleeper---Baldwin good, Assante great as ever and Leo Rossi in a good supporting role---some of the best parts played by relative unknowns---and Jason Gedrick as a junkie???---who would have thought---but it works---made in 2001,sat on the shelf too long---just as good as Sean Penn's movie about the Westies---a poor man's "mean streets"--Chaz Palmentierri is great as the neighborhood cop, --- i think that they could have beefed up his part a little more, but his performance is solid as ever--a new york guy for a new york role---i think that the exteriors were shot right in hell's kitchen---good ending ties up the story--well done

bsquared212 one eyed king was wonderful. story, casting, genre, acting - all of it. Baldwin, palminteri, assante, Kirby, mihok, gedrick - all terrific. it's a definite recommend. hell's kitchen, the Irish in new york - couldn't be more real and appealing. i would love to see these guys working together more often. great energy, great chemistry. Baldwin has worked with gedrick before but those two with Kirby, chazz and assante -look out! very cool. director moresco has it going on too. you can tell this guy has a great film or two in him. congratulations on his recent success - million dollar baby. should kick some butt at the Oscars this year. Jim breuer does some fun work in this too. he's got a hell of a lot more going on here then just goat boy - that's for sure.
