MR MAJESTYK is without doubt one of Charles Bronsan`s greatest films . I know that`s not saying much but if you`ve never seen it then you can`t appreciate just how enjoyable it is . Bronsan is outshined on screen by Al Lettieri`s performance as mafia hitman Frank Renda . Witness the scene in the prison dining hall
MAJESTYK : ( To Renda - Referring to meal ) Hey buddy you finished with that ?
RENDA : ( Knocks prison tray onto floor ) You want it ? You eat it
MAJESTYK : I`ll tell you what I`ll have one of those cigarettes of yours
CUT to Renda giving a facial expression that resembles a rabid rottweiller . But it`s when Paul Koslo as Bobby Kopas arrives onto the scene to get revenge on Vince Majestyk that the deadpan humour really takes off
KOPAS : Hi Mister Renda . I thought maybe after you`d finished with Majestyk I could maybe put a couple of slugs into him
RENDA : ( Referring to Kopas ) Who`s this a$$hole ?
Or the scene where Renda , Kopas and a couple of other bad guys are driving past Majestyk`s farm on a stakeout when they notice a police patrol car parked on the road
RENDA : Cops . How long the cops been here ?
KOPAS : ( Nonchalantly ) Too long I guess
RENDA : ( grabs Kopas violently ) Listen a$$hole . I ain`t known you two minutes but already you`re talking s*** to me boy ( Kopas becomes visibly more and more terrified ) What`s the matter with you a$$hole ?
Lettieri and Koslo make a great team and it`s a pity they never appeared in their own show entitled THE MAFIA HITMAN AND THEA$$HOLE
