Russ D @Calaverasgrande 2 days ago It's a decent effort from Chaz Palminteri and Robert De Niro. Who wrote and directed it respectively. While also appearing in it. Chaz and Bob both acquit themselves admirably. It's like watching a seasoned athlete at their prime. No wasted energy. No superfluous motions. However Bob and Chazz are supporting cast in this. Not the leads. And frankly the guy that does carry the young adult segment of the protagonist's story, the meat of the film, isn't great. His scenes opposite Jane are tepid. There is no chemistry or romance. Just a man and woman saying words adjacent to each other. The rest of his performance is him walking through life with a voice over. Only half of his role involves speaking parts. And well, of those he is just not very good. It's made much worse by the scenes with more compelling actors like DeNiro. We also get very little time to develop the romance angle so the stakes there are non-existent. You would think an actor like DiNiro would direct acting better?

Mom is thankfully a bit more practical. Kiddo is all innocence and blah. The much feared Sonny is just a teddy bear with a few teeth. A tremendous effort is made to understand the color divide. So terrific is the effort that the film almost collapses under the weight of its own vapid vapor. And the ending is left, very thankfully, open.

The script, acting, and cinematography are all good. It's worth a watch. I had not watched it since the 90's. I'm glad I did, but I don't think I'll rewatch it again.

The dialogue, the body language, the characters, the setting, the fights, deaths, even the smallest minute detail was every inch of perfected in this perfect film.
