Instead of painting houses you hit em' with shovels.

Mafia for the New Generation © Ned Gorman for Tony Martone

I must admit, I have older taste and appreciate the classics we all know well such as Godfather and so on.

I won't go through the plot. I will say it was a joy to see new faces in Joe McGee's depiction of a mafia film. Mario Carneiro and Danny Fainman played great don's leading their respected families. Amato is from NYC and Martone is from RI. There are many reasons to praise this indie film's work but for me it was the story that made this original film work so great.

The acting is superb. The three stars manage to create characters that are completely fleshed out.

However, this is the Mafia for the new generation and it still appeals to me.

Instead of painting houses like, "Irishman," -- you hit em' with shovels. I do like the cynical comedy shown along with an actual plot and story. The twist and subtle clue's on the rats was a delight to see in a new generation film.

It also had elements to me as a modern day Soprano's but this was very original and the blues/jazz music was complimentary to the actor's slick lines shown in the film.

Great acting, very good cinematography shown in this film. I do feel the movie is a bit short with a running time under 1 hour. It did come together well within the 1 hour but i was hoping it could have been a bit longer not Titanic long but at least 20 more minutes. I was not disappointed in the run time though, as the running time does not stop or take a nap it is an indication that the film is attractive and holds the attention.

The movie was artistic, and paints an interesting vignette about mob life.

The opening intro is one of the best intro's I've seen with funny one liners. You don't see such a bold opening in mafia films.

In closing, it's a stunning story that molds together seamlessly with modern day plot. Remember one name, Tony Martone. This is a mob movie unlike any other. Featuring an array of top-notch many unknown performances but they had their shinning moment in this film.

This is a true modern gangster drama masterpiece with 8/10 rating for me.
