Mafia Wars

If you're into these low-budget shooting scenes and aren't expecting Oscar level acting then this is your movie. The trailer itself even showed the budget. The movie and the actors are doing good for what they had and personally love to see Tom Welling doing someone New which is one of the main reasons watching it. Like i said the story isnt giving you plot holes or anything to really think much about. The movie definitely has some good scenes even if the CGI is from the 90s. Solid enough to keep you entertained and too watch when there's nothing else to watch. Definitely check it out, mostly for Tom Welling and Cam Gigendat.

Even Tom Welling's acting was so below par and expectation. Most of the other actors acted poorly as well. So disappointing. I feel alot has to do with director choices in the scenes as they were poorly done too. Not a great action movie and everything was so predictable.

Don't waste your money with this one. It was below TV movie acceptance. Everyone seems so mechanical as they did their parts. The only actor that seemed to play his part right and with some enthusiasm was Al Linea.

I can't not understand the high rating unless they were paid by the movie company to rate it! I feel it highly suspicious of it.

This film is an absolute mess from start to finish, filled with lazy writing, unrealistic reactions, and inconsistent character abilities.

For example, there's a scene where a guy is aiming a gun outside a packed café, and somehow, not a single person reacts. It's like the entire crowd is blind or just completely unfazed by the threat of violence. Then there's the main character, who pulls off an impressive long distance headshot with a pistol like a professional sniper, yet just a few scenes later, he's holding a machine gun at point blank range and somehow manages to miss.

The entire film is riddled with contradictions like this, making it frustrating to watch. The pacing is off, the plot is barely coherent, and the action sequences lack any real tension because of how absurdly inconsistent they are. It feels like the filmmakers just threw together a bunch of random action clichés without thinking about how they actually fit together.

Overall, it's all over the place, and not in a good way. If you're looking for a film that actually makes sense, you'd be better off watching something else.

You should always grade on a curve with movies. Not everything should be graded based on The Godfather or Citizen Kane. Go in with the right expectations on why you picked the movie. With Maria Wars, I expected an 80s/90s style action thriller, with some colorful characters with a nice backdrop. I liked Terry and Griff, both recognizable to Millennial audiences from Smallville and OC. It hit most of its marks on Action, Characters, and Rome was great scenery. Where it lost me was it trying to be too clever. Everyone is a double agent, everyone has a double cross, the drugs are always somewhere else. It got to the point where it didn't make sense, by the end, it twisted itself into a convoluted mess. I still don't know how Griff's brother got out lol. But, at no point was I bored or wanted to turn it off, and it went by fast, which is saying something. A 7/10 is what my scale is for something good, and this just missed the mark. But, for something new and different on Amazon Prime, I wouldn't say I was disappointed in time spent watching "Mafia Wars".

The reason I gave this movie 3 stars and not zero is for a few reasons: I like Tom Welling (even though his acting in this sucked), I like Cam Giganet (even though his acting in this sucked), and the female lead had nice boobs (but her face was almost as bad as her acting. There's very little action, and when there is, it's very obvious that stunt doubles are being used. Think Spaceballs stunt doubles. Tom is a recently released convict who is roped into an undercover investigation by an American cop in Rome who's accent changes every few scenes. He is forced to go after Cam, who tries to play a crazy bad guy, but the writing doesn't give him much to work with. There's a female lead who I can barely remember aside from her "assets" and her horrible acting. Oh and the CGI is from a 90s TV movie. I had low expectations going in but holy crap this was bad.
