I bought this movie thinking it'd be a good watch. I'm a big fan of the mafia movie genre and I love Harvey Keitel. But this movie was just plain boring, and far too long. But don't think I'm the kind of person who can't appreciate a slow moving film (I loved The Killing of a Chinese Bookie). Plus there was just some rediculous moments, like the nuns pushing the car off the cliff even though he was sitting right in it and in park....

You want a good Harvey Keitel flick, go check out Reservoir Dogs or Mean Streets. You're looking for slightly obscure gangster movies try Wannabes, Revolver, Family Enforcer or Ghost Dog.

This should have and could have been a 90 minute thriller. Instead we have 139 minutes of convoluted nonsense.
Bad editing all around.
A plot that cries for more viable dialogue.
Characters that yearn and require deeper understanding.
Erratic cinematography.
At the end of it you kind of know what happened but you don't really care.
That's the responsibility of the director. To make his audience relate and involve their emotions. It never happens.
A truly great cast headed by the wonderful Harvey Keitel who can't save this one.
Even the credits are bizarre.
A waste of time.

Great, elegant crime thriller set in Sicilian Islands. Harvey Keitel rules as a New York cop sent to Itally and trying NOT to fall under the spell of the corrupt life there.

.... but then I'm a huge Harvey Keitel fan! This was one of the better ones in my opinion.

I have ordered product's from amazon on quite a few occasions and have yet to be disapointed. ( Thank You ).
