Masterfully directed by Federico Castelluccio in his feature-length directorial debut, The Brooklyn Banker also impresses with it's impeccable production quality and acting. With a fantastic lead performance by Troy Garity, backed by old pros like Paul Sorvino, David Proval, and Arthur Nascarella, to name a few, and a great supporting cast, they collectively pulled off what I believe to be a very cerebral wiseguy film that was both suspenseful and funny. The Brooklyn Banker flows from start to finish and for 98 minutes you're witness to a rendition of Williamsburg in the 1970's that is as authentic as it gets. If you have a love for Italian mobster genre films, The Brooklyn Banker pays a nice "dividend" that is well worth the price of admission.
