A Brilliant Conflict
Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Billy's line after Andy uses the word "diss" is so applicable to society today...anyone remember it? Vic & Eddy are thoroughly entertaining, Jackie Tratner is awesome & the soundtrack is fantastic for early 90's tunes!!
I would definitely recommend this movie to all gangster movie fans. I am the dancer in the nightclub. This was shot at the Port O Call nightclub in Brooklyn, NY. I was handpicked & am trying to get my name listed in the credits as the actors have dialog about me & I appear in most of the trailers of the movie. I still have all my business cards from that night, i.e. Outlaw Bikers, John Landis, etc. The movie is really comparable to any of the great gangster flicks. Definitely would recommend this. The acting is excellent, good storyline & lots of action. Up there with the likes of Casino & Goodfellas. Definitely a must see!
Poor acting by most involved, as well as some other obvious flaws are'nt enough to destroy this movie for me~ They're even part of the tragic air of the film~ and almost add a particular charm to it.. Maybe you must be able to relate to certain aspects of this movie to appreciate it, particularly the time and/or place of the "sub-culture" involved.. but I will just simply say that despite all of it's technical flaws, it's still a film that stands out in my mind throughout the years.. and one that I still find myself putting into the dusty VHS box every so often.. Perfect example of how all enjoyable entertainment need not meet the "professional criteria" of it's respective industry..
the only redeeming portion of this film is mira sorvino.... rob weiss is self indulgent and the cast is nothing but a bunch of not so pretty, pretty boys waving their yahoo's around.... it shoulda been called goodfellas 90210.... too bad the scorsese reference makes it sound better than it is.... avoid this film.
