Back in the 90's, I was a huge fan of Abel Ferrara so I was really eager to check this movie out. Unfortunately, Ferrara doesn't really make very good movies anymore...

First of all, there was an impressive cast (Christoher Walken, Benicio del Toro, Chris Penn, Annabella Sciorra, Isabella Rossellini, Vincent Gallo, Gretchen Mol) and the directing was rather... read more

"Once you pull the trigger there's no turning back." Free on demmand, great cast, and it has gangsters. I'm there! The movie starts off really slow, and slowly builds to almost a great climax, but not a huge climax. The movie had a lot of flaws, and I think it should have been longer, then an hour and fourty minutes. It had a lot of potentional. Everything was just very hard to follow, they(the wr... read more

New York City, the 1930s. A powerful crime family is caught in a lethal crossfire between union organizers and brutal corporate bosses. Against this turbulent backdrop, the family's three street-hardened brothers and the women they love are about to be plunged into a deadly confrontation with their enemies, with each other, and with their own dark heritage of violence, madness and murder.

30 From 96: My Favorite Films From 1996 (30 movies items)

"Ever since The Godfather, it seems like mafia families just don't get it. Living "the life" means "la familia" of the mob gets priority over the family of your blood. And making the life of "la familia" a family bizaness usually translates into the idea that the family that shoots together, dies together. Next thing you know, whenever a big event that involves the relatives comes along, you won't be able to tell whether you're at a family reunion or at a family funeral. "
