A Bronx Tale (1993)

This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

I'm going to review the movie "A Bronx Tale" by Robert Deniro. I think you should pay attention to my review because I can give you an accurate score of how good this movie is compared to real life because I live in New York City. Somethings I think this movie did really well was how the displayed the intentional segregation between the two races and the tension between the two.I liked the way Sonny had his business and neighborhood under a tight fist everyone feared him but respected him also.I also liked how each of the two father figures was helping Calogero in his times of need. An example of this would be when Sonny gave Calogero a test to see if the girl he liked was a good kind of girl that he could always have by his side.One thing they could have done better at was to include some other people in the story. Like Calogero's mom came at the beginning and then left.

(Originally reviewed:) 05/01/2017 Chazz Palminteri, Lillo Brancato, and Robert De Niro are superb in this underlooked, outstanding gangster drama, which shows De Niro in a different light as someone who does not want his son mixing with the mob. I admired the way they used the background, I admired the relationship between Brancato's character and the young African American girl, I also admired how the story unfolded rather unpredictably and how the picture ended. It was utterly satisfying and there's even a cameo from a real top actor, which I will not reveal. A Bronx Tale is a great film and one of the best films I've seen in a while.

First off, I would like to say that I think "A Bronx Tale" is one of the best movies I have ever seen. As an average movie watcher, this is one of the most emotional movies I have watched.What sticks out for me is the amazing soundtrack, which can really capture the emotion of the scenes, and what I think is an excellent performance by Chazz Palminteri, Robert De Niro, and Lillo Brancato. I wouldn't agree with people expecting it to be another "Goodfellas" or "Godfather", cause this movie is in a category of its own. It is an excellent coming of age story, and you really feel as though you grow up with Calogero(Lillo Brancato) and there is a strong emotional connection to the characters Sonny, a crime boss who takes Calogero under his wing(Chazz Palminteri), and Lorenzo, Calogero's father(Robert De Niro). Now I wouldn't consider this a spoiler, but the ending is probably the most emotional ending I have seen, and it left me so proud of the movie that it motivated me to write this review (My first review). I highly recommend this movie to everyone, whether or not you love gangster films, because I really feel as though it is a gangster movie, the plot involves more of the coming of age of Lillo Brancato's character, and less of the gangster aspect of the story. From what I understand there is also a Broadway play, and I would expect that to be golden as well, but overall PLEASE WATCH THIS MOVIE, it is that good. There are tons of amazing quotes and scenes and this movie leaves you with a deep lesson, which I really didn't experience in Godfather or Goodfellas, but I still consider those movies to be top notch. For this I applaud Robert De Niro and Chazz Palminteri and all the actors involved with this picture, and I hope that more people see this movie and really appreciate it.

I don't know the Bronx. I only know it from tales and movies. But there was not any movie like this about the Bronx, i saw before. In this movie, there is no single boring Minute. From beginning to the end, it's a interesting Story about the troubles from coming of Age in a Mafia ruled district. The effort of a father to Keep his beloved son away from sliding into a Company of the Mafioso, the effort of the son to do the best and cope with the circumstances and the Mafioso who lives to keep the scales in Balance for not diyng to early. :) There are a few aspects, that make this movie unique. It's the Story with the exact amount of Tension that makes you want you watch continuously. The movie is perfectly edited for flowing from Scene to Scene. The Story is told in a flawless flow. The camera-work is on a high Level and the casting is dreamlike! The actors are all perfectly casted and do a real good work. One of the best of deNiro and i do not now one other movie, in which Chazz Palminteri is more sympathetic than in this one. I will surely watch this again. :)
