Review of A Brooklyn State of Mind

This is a great mob film, and a must see for fans of this genre. What is amazing to me is how few people have seen in (based on only two reviews). Basically there are two reasons to watch this film 1: The incredible beauty of Maria Grazia Cuchotta.(Gabriella) 2: The real intense performance of Danny Aiello as a mob boss, who is one of the most untrustworthy and manipulative characters you will see in a film. Spoilers ahead: He is responsible for the deaths of the father's of Gabriella, protagonist Al (Vincent Spano), and countless other people (including Al's brother). The best part of the film is the ending where Al gets him to confess to the murders (of course, he had no idea it was on film (Gabriella is a documentary filmmaker)). I like the part at the end where Al (who is a restaurant owner), is shown taking care of his two year old nephew and his sister in law, and Gabriella (who came to Brooklyn from Italy with the intention of finding out the truth about her father), is also welcomed into the family (the two women drive to Coney Island with the baby as the film ends). Very easy 10/10
