R R @RT17759252 Aug 17, 2025 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 Jan 3, 2025 This movie would be an insult to a cockroach’s intelligence. See more Read all reviews
