A GEM OF A MOVIE
Sometimes the very best movies are those you never hear about. I never knew about this movie until it came out on video. A different kind of role for Pacino - low key and though he isn't actually on screen for that long, he's very effective in the role of the young hero's Italian grandfather (He's certainly come full circle from the Godfather movies). EXCELLENT MOVIE - A GEM!

IF A MAFIA FLICK CAN BE HEARTWARMING, THIS IS IT!
This is a film that I can watch a kazillion times and still not get enough. Chazz Palminteri is one of the scariest actors in gangster history. However, his insight into the world that he was born in was touching. Robert De Niro shines as a frustrated father trying to save his son from the streets.
