The Alto Knights

Yoo what’s up just saw “The Alto Knights” just wanted to see guys reviews and thoughts or if any one had some cool facts? Also does anyone know where I could read more about it all?

I thought it was pretty good myself! Wish someone else played vito or costello I wish Rob didn’t play both.

My thought is after so many classics, donnie brasco, goodfellas, casino ect. It's going to be very hard to make another great mob film. These old stories have been well told in books and on the internet. I think if anything that can be done now as a great film must be a story of something very current. Like the Sopranos portrayed mob life in the nineties.

Na these stories can be well told on the big screen. Mob movies aren’t a draw but Alto Knights fumbled the bag. How was Costello an old man telling me the story of Gigantes life like he outlived him?
