Enrico was a lame hood to be caught so easy

The movie begins with Louis Cropa's old crony Enrico (Coventie) purportedly 59 years old (laughingly much older than that) and caught in a really lame little chase downtown where the two hood bookmakers easily catch up with him and gun him down. Bad start for a gangster flic. The guy was as tough as Mrs. Doughtfire. The portraits painted and hung by the waitress weren't very good. But all in all the movie was amusing despite the absurd concept that committing the Pest removal by hiring a hitman to do it in the restaurant during peak hours could suspend disbelief in the viewer. But the focus on the cookery was a clever setting the way the sport of basketball provides an exciting backdrop for a movie. Or kinda like the way music and college band orchestration was the center of Drumline (2002). The best one was Amy Irving and Richard Dreyfus in "The Competition", a movie focused around a university level contest of pianists that competed for very promising and lucrative prizes. If you can ever catch a glance at that terrific movie, don't let it slip past you. It's beyond belief
