Such a gripping film. It kept me invested and nervous throughout, not wanting the kid to get lost or stray too far from Gloria. Even though she herself led a troubled life mixed in with the mob, she was the guardian of the child, as appointed by the child's late mother on the spur of the moment, before she was shot and killed- and, that pretty much sums up this movie's tone- frantic, spur of the moment, life or death situations. But, in the midst of all that is a tenderness and adorableness that can only exist between adult and child.
Those who aren't fans of the happy ending fail to realize that this is a mob movie for people who aren't into mob movies, so anything less than a happy ending would have been a bad move. I loved it- and bonus points for the great musical score!
