1st of all. The story takes place in Williamsburg Brooklyn. Which is notoriously a Jewish-Hasdim Neighborhood. During this time-period there few remaining italians living in this area of brookyln. Italians first arrived to Williamsburg in the late 1800's: by the late 1960's most of the italians moved out of Williamsburg.
This film depicts a corny stereotype of Italians. Bad acting, over exaggerated NY Italian Accents, cheesy wardrobe, bad casting. Paul Sorvino was great in some Mafia Movies.. like Good Fella's.. but dang.. this dude can't act without proper direction.. The lead of this film: Troy Garity (From Ballers) playing Santo.. is another example of the bad casting for this film; For one he is not Italian, and his Italian-new york accent is cheesy and is a very poor imitation. For one Santo looks more Jewish than Italian, and another note.. his style and portrayal of an Italian is poor. From my view point Troy Garity is trying to be tuff/macho but it is pitiful. This whole movie from the start to the end was a Snooze-Fist; Yawn, yawn..I hate seeing sh*t like this.... Not realistic what-so- ever! Huge THUMBS DOWN!
