Is an ok movie have seen better .
I got this movie to see one of my fav actor Val kilmers acting. But he only has a small part.
I guess people who love mafia movies may enjoy this.
The intersection where family, honor and betrayal collide.
February, 1991. Tommy, a Desert Storm marine dismayed that the US isn't taking out Saddam, breaks some rules and faces hard labor. An FBI agent offers him an out: go home to his gritty, dockside home in Pennsylvania and help get the goods on an Italian heroine dealer; in return, no prison time and no arrest of Tommy's brother Vincent and cousin Joey. Loyalty to family conflicts with loyalty to the code of the street. Can Tommy sort it out, protect his brother and cousin, and stay true? Do young men die - in the sands of the Middle East and on the mean streets of the US - for no reason?

Giovanni Ribsi carries this film and it's only worth watching for his performance. There are several small roles for other big name actors in which they just fill space and a terrible cameo from Val... Read more
Kilmer though I suspect most of the problem was the script. The only mobster with mobster intensity was the sicilian.3 stars story of brotherhood and drugs violence bloodshed gang wars if u like gangsta movies u will enjoy this although it made me sad!!
It was a good movie. Had its moments. A little bit Mob a little bit cop. Good twist and good acting. But it could have been just a little better. But still a good movie.
a tuff mafia movie with quiet a bit of violence, acting was great and story line could be vamped up a little more but other than that it is worth a watch.
Typical mob plot involving greed, backstabbing & violence but made more interesting by the younger cast and the excellent acting by James Marsden & Giovanni Ribsi. Actors with smaller parts that add... Read more
interest are Dennis Hopper, Tommy Lee & Dash Mihok gets abit rough whiich I've never seen before.Excellent crime/mob movie with the old under cover twist! Well worth watching. An oldie but a goodie!
A good solid gangster/cop movie that most people will enjoy, there is of course the required partial nudity and bad language, as well as plenty of shooting and fight scenes. The story follows one man... Read more
, who grew up on 10th and wolf with his brother and father, his father was a mafia hitman, and when he was killed the two brothers went to live with their cousin and his parents, who were also in the mafia, the 3 boys became as close as brothers to each other, but one is determined to break the cycle, he joins the marines, while his brother and cousin join the mafia, when he gets in trouble with the military police he is given a choice to bring down a top mafia don, or to go to jail, when he still refuses he is told that if he doesn't do it, his brother and cousin will go to jail, from there, the movie really takes off as he has to go back home to the family he loves, and do what is considered to be the worst thing, be a snitch. Based on true events, its well worth watching if you enjoy this type of movie.Reasonable describes this film pretty well. Another story of Mafia tensions, connections and violence mixed with informants, police corruption, and family loyalty. I know it's based on a true story... Read more
but they all seem the same. Giovanni Ribisi lifts this film up above the others though with a great performance.
