something here

a good story in this overlooked film.

lets be honest: the acting in this is bad. frankly i don't think any of these actors pull off a convincing role in this film. freddy prince jr's brooklyn accent is f**kin' as laughable as his tough guy act. please! there are a lot of cliches here as well. yet theres enough of a story to hold it all into something that is well worth watching. its an enigma of sorts.

3 kids grow up in brooklyn, each follows a different path; one goes ivy league, one a blue collar momma's boy, but its the one who decides to get involved with the mafia that sets the story. and you can figure out more or less whats going to happen from there. still the characters themselves are interesting, the stories around them interesting, and the 'tweaks' to the well trodden story are sufficient to make it worth while.

give it a shot, its better than most films despite, as i said, mediocre acting.

(7/10)
