The Neighborhood (2017)
Totally worth a watch!
Frank D'Angelo hits it over the park with The Neighborhood. I've seen several of Frank D'Angelo's movies and this one is a great work of art. A totally realistic story that is thoughtfully written and with a cast performance from some of the best actors that have ever hit the screen. Giancarlo Giannini, Franco Nero, Danny Aiello, Burt Young, John Savage, and there's many more, all have contributed to the validity of this drama with deep characters that come off the page. And I would be a missed if I did not mention Frank D'Angelo's performance in this film. He carries the film like a maestro in an orchestra, with every actor playing off him so perfect, making every move and scene very calculated and deliberate that makes it a joy to watch. Bravo, Bravo, for an outstanding job all around. If you liked Goodfellas or The Godfather, this is a film for you.
Real Gangsters (2013)
I would see this film again.
If you're looking for a candy coated mafia movie like the Sopranos, then this movie is not for you. Real Gangsters is more realistic, almost like reality TV the way it was shot. Usually I don't expect much from independent films but I had the opportunity to view this film in Hoboken and was pleasantly surprised. It wasn't a typical mafia movie it was edgy and gritty with in your face drama that kept you at the edge of your seat with every scene because you did not know what was coming next. Yes, the language was a little harsh at times but that's what added to the realness. I love gangster movies and this was one that I would see again.
