This is not "The Godfather Epic" with a cast of thousands. So it should not be rated or categorized as such. It is a very satisfying and plausible suspense drama well worth watching. The cast is full of veteran talent with Ray Mancini and Mia Sara turning in fine performances along with Charles Durning, Tony Sirico and Tom Atkins. The storyline supported by good direction, editing and dialogue leave nothing to be desired. It unfolds very smoothly with a great finale that could easily lead to a sequel. If your in need of a quick fix while you await the new "Sopranos" season to begin this is the one to see. I give it a strong "3 stars" and recommend it with pleasure.

Could It Get Any Worse ?
corbett30 January 2004
The only thing more shockingly off-base than this film itself is the highly laudatory external review at DVD Critic. Don't believe a word they say. The script is trite, the acting wooden, the story a blurry, vague mess, the 'surprise ending'? Well, by that time, nobody cares, not even the guy getting shot.
Perhaps a nice specimen for a film class: "What Not To Do 101", but don't waste your time. I checked it out, free, from the library, and it was worth what I paid for it.

Just telling the truth

While I should be proud that this film was shot in my home town, I am shocked at how bad it was. The writing, acting, and editing were poorly done. The scene of the corpse in the funeral home had everyone in the theater laughing because the corpse can be seen breathing. Someone missed that one big time. I hope the actors were paid well, because they aren't going to make anything else from this movie.
