just watch it!

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

A very low budget film shot in and around Little Italy in Manhattan (Mulberry-Hester Streets) when this story about Father Sal really takes place in the Bronx. Dialogue is weak, even in the Italian. The only real facts about this film is that Albert Anastasia DID get his start on the Brooklyn docks and that he WAS murdered in the barber shop. Even their brother Anthony (Tony) who was the dock mob boss is not even identified. Certainly, a let-down.I know the movie came out of the book that Father Sal wrote in Calabria and he wanted to keep all the gory details (and his brother(s)shames) out of it, but there is really nothing left once you pull out the good stuff.
