Gangster Comedy


Frank Vincent, you either hate his characters, like Salvi in "Raging Bull", or kind of respect them as I did in this little comedic thriller. Treat Williams played solidly as ever. You know you're watching a comedy when the bad guys shoot about 12 rounds without re-loading.I give this 5 for effort and an extra point because I quite liked it.

I dont think this was meant to be a comedy though. I watched it like 7 times in a row with friends though, so it has something awesome about it.

I love this movie. Can't explain it. It just works for me. I saw it when it first came out, and recognized a lot of my neighborhood in LIC, Queens. Plus I like that so many Sopranos actors are in it, four years before the creation of the show. So it's interesting seeing them "pre-Sopranos." I love the updated plot of
Good Bad and the Ugly. Plus the soundtrack! Great music selection.

Is it a comedy or a crime drama? I think the director made it deliberately tongue-in-cheek.
