med_1978 I recently bought this film on DVD for £1.99. Lucky for me it came with 4 other films too. I watched this first anticipating it to be the worst movie on the DVD and it did not disappoint. I must admit I am not a fan of John Turturro, Samuel L Jackson or Steve Buscemi, I generally find them annoying in films. Though they are for the most part good character actors, it is the characters they tend to play that are annoying. The film itself has a very decent cast (though mostly before the peak of their careers). However I just found the characters to be extremely dumb and uninteresting, unfunny and Irritating. It makes you wonder why the Holt McCallany character wanted to go back and make a film about the people in the place where he grew up. The film was a complete waste of time and ultimately when you finally find out what happened to Jimmy it is another letdown.Avoid this Movie at all costs it wastes a decent cast and you will never get back the time you spent watching this rubbish.

kevinoflincoln Saw this a couple of weeks ago, my friend bought the DVD for one pound. This is overpriced for this movie.There must be a story behind the reason so many talented actors agreed to be in this, but still can't believe they did it.It is so poorly shot, the acting in general is atrocious, even from the majority of the talented guys as the dialogue is so bad.It is embarrassing to watch them put through it. If I'd made this a college, I wouldn't have expected to pass.It is really difficult to pass this by with the cast involved, but you really will regret it if you do sit and watch it.

iamchuck01 I've never actually met another person that has seen it, but I always try to get the word out about it. Great movie. The best story line. I haven't decided if the acting is really good or really bad. I think this movie would have been more popular if had actually gotten a little advertisement. The first I heard of it was when I saw it at a video store, and even then I've haven't seen it at many video stores (I have frequented many video stores in many cities in many states over the last 10 years). I love this movie, I just wish I had someone I could actually talk to it about, or at least someone who would get it when I quoted something from it. Damn shame this movie isn't more popular.

richandrews22 First of all, if you're not from Brooklyn, don't even bother. If you are, then you will definitely wet yourself by the end of the film. It is weak in spots, though. The 'veritè' combats with the 'noir' and the result just doesn't work at times. Altogether, a gallant attempt to reveal the glory that is Brooklyn... well its street people, at least. The fact that so many big-timers showed up for cameos indicates the love Brooklynites have for the town. Go figure. I grew up with 'Junior' Sirico on Avenue 'J', and I swear, he ain't changed one bit.
