NickyCee This was really a bad movie. It looks like it was filmed using a Best Buy camcorder and lighting from Rent-All®. The "director" also starred in the movie. Some a**-hat (*=s) named Danny Provenzano. Never seen him and never want to again. He doesn't look Italian at all and has this strange, crooked face with huge flaring nostrils. Truly unsettling to look at. His acting is another story. It's just one cliché after another. He tries to act New York Italian but comes off like St. Paul, MN actor at the Eau De Claire Wisconsin Community Theatre trying his best to pull off Sonny from The Godfather. He's most likely making ends meet by giving those acting classes to the special needs kids (and I respect him from that) but he really shouldn't be staring in his own movie.Now for that scene I mentioned in the title of my review. This one scene is enough for you "Awful Movie Fans" to perk up and head straight to Amazon or what ever dark hole of a rental store you can find this turd:The scene happens at a Chinese restaurant. Four members of a crew lead by Eau De Claire Community Theatre's favorite son Danny Provenzano (Character name: Nicky) are sitting around the table. "It's time to try those improvisation chops!" thinks Danny. So for no reason, his character starts telling a rediculous nonsensical story about a "6 foot 8 inch" man he and the mobster to his right had to kill. It's clearly improvised as seen on the faces of the other "Goombahs" around the table as Danny is talking. Danny finishes the first part of his just made up story and looks to the other actor to jump in. Oh, he does - adding his own brand of improvisation. Now it's back to Eau De Claire Danny who actually contradicts what he said earlier and also mixes up the improvised facts laid out by the other actor. This goes on for so so so long and it is so so so bad on so so so many levels. If anyone other than Eau De Claire Danny had directed the movie, it would have been left on the cutting room floor in its entirety. But there it is --- for all you lucky viewers to see. And see you must. So how bad is this movie? Think: Graveyard scene in Plan 9 and you'll get the idea!

sillyboy_2002 This Mafia was the worst that I have seen so far. I am disappointed because there were some great character actors, who should have done a better job. The lead/director was terrible. Not only was he a bad actor, but there was no character development to even vaguely have the viewer symphatize with any of the major or minor characters. If this was a parody of Mafia films, I would understand why the film sucked. Get a day job, and don't do anymore Indi films. What I don't understand is why Frank Vicente and the other bigger names decided to sully their repuations by taking part in this film. And, I don't understand the terrible anecdotes that were parlayed during the various meal scenes. It was horrific. I kept hoping that "Tony Soprano" or Ray Liotto or any other character from Goodfellas or Casino appeared in the film. It was painful to watch. Thank God for fast forwarding.

fuzzface-3 Nice to see the mob genre still alive, this piece of material represents the mid echelon (quality wise) of the "lesser known mob movies".Filled with typical mob movie actors such as Frank Vincent, and Vincent Pastore, complemented by James Caan, the movie starts of in a typical mob conversation around the table, which is well acted, filmed and directed. The ad lib acting makes it work. The story line is somewhat bold, yet true to facts, since the mafia is now known to operate through cyberspace, but the extend of this heist they're planning make it unrealistic for me. The overall acting has its ups and downs, several ad lib conversations are hilarious in character, and certainly reminiscent of the famous "what do you mean I'm funny" bit by Joe Pesci in Goodfellas", and other scenes and characters are severely overdone, or all out amateuristic and bad. All in all I had a fine time watching this movie, it's certainly worth at least one viewing, since it's certainly NOT the worst mafia movie out there.Not a must have DVD, but for completionists, such as me.

gelashe Like the Kinks song "I'm on a low budget", you have to wonder what our stereotype talented mob actors were thinking when they consented to pool their combined efforts together to make this film. We have almost every mob actor who, if you pay attention to the script (without your eyes glazing over), replay many parts/lines from their mob movies.The plot is thin if not threadbare. I'm not sure why some of the other posters thought this was even an acceptable film. Trying to watch the entire thing, was painful. As DeNiro told his son in a Bronx Tale, "the saddest thing in life, is wasted talent" - that appears to be the motto of this movie.
