R R Aug 17 Understand this was low budget, but the acting was terrible. You would want to see someone shine/stand out as an up and comer. Just not there. Also, the realism of the mafia life just wasn't there. See more Harjit K @harjitkohli 01/03/2025 This movie would be an insult to a cockroach’s intelligence. See more Mary M 03/12/2024 Great movie. Had a few friends recommend it to and wanted to check it out myself. I'm usually am the person who reads reviews before I watch a movie so I checked out the rotten tomatoes reviews and saw it was highly rated minus the one or two trolls. Which got me even more excited to watch it. I mean someone apparently someone watched the movie on Christmas and disliked the movie so bad that he made an account to write a review warning people not to waste there life watching the film. Santa definitely didn't go to his house this year. What a miserable person. Hahaha! Sorry I had to comment on the review because it's the epitome of a saddo. Back to my review… After watching the film I had to make an account to just give a solid reasonable review on the film. I have to warn people if they want to be authentically entertained then this is the movie for them. It felt more like watching real people deal with a real serious situation unfolding in front of your eyes. Yes it's deff low budget film but I believe that's what gives its grittiness. If you like the power rangers or marvel movies that are all special effects and men in tights with no real story then this isn't the movie for you. But if you have an hour and a half to check out what it's like to be a modern day Italian mobster in New Jersey and are sick of watching "The Sopranos" then this is the movie for you. A solid respectful 4 out of 5. Is it the best movie ever, no, but it holds it ground and throws a solid punch. See more Lawrence B 03/12/2024 Great movie. Was thoroughly entertained throughout. I agree with 100% of the critics and 98% of the audience. Low budget film but it hits hard. Great cinematography. Great music. Interesting story arch. See more Denise B 03/02/2024 Don't know how it got 100% I would give it 10 See more Anthony M 07/12/2023 Great acting the Don was incredible, he's the real deal. See more Read all reviews
