10/10
The Spinal Tap of mobster movies
29 June 2015
I'm not sure if I should rate it a 1 or 10. No cliché is left unturned in this Mobomentary. Falls into the "It's so bad, it's really good" category , with the potential to reach cult status.The movie contains a "who's who" of acting talent many of whom are rarely seen these days.Nick Mancuso provides many moments of legit quality acting which both elevates and draws a sharp contrast to the otherwise "over the top" or high school level acting otherwise provided.It truly is difficult at times to not imagine a number of the actors are simply friends or family members of Mr DeAngelo, who does everything in this film, but cater the cast and crew.....he may actually do that too.Margot Kidder brought a passion to the screen that screams a bright future in maniacal horror films, she was that good and twisted.Film could have benefited from less of Frank's greatest hits and more atmospheric music to create tension and drama , but my feeling is this was both a budget and ego decision.What more can be said about REAL GANGSTERS , I could watch it over and over, but probably not for the same entertainment experience Mr D had in mind, which is part of which propels this film into the stratosphere.
