732995, This is streaming on Prime now. It's exactly as bad as you imagine

One of the rare "so bad it's good" movies. It's unintentionally the best parody of mob movies. Horrible and unnecessary narration. Completely unlikeable characters. Hacky soliloquies about the honor of the mob. Very eye-roll worthy stuff.

The decision to jump back-and-forth in time was truly puzzling, and the resolution for some things is laughable. One of his closest friends fucks up, they cut him out of the family, and the resolution for it is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

The "He's a gangster, but he helps his people" narrative that many of these movies take has really worn on me, and it's as baseless as ever in this movie. They do nothing to show this guy's alleged "good side" but at the end of the movie I'm supposed to be mad at the government for their treatment of him and his son.
