Not great cinematography, not a very original plot, but a real one, and reality hits hard and don't look pretty. I must admit that this film worked for me. I loved the moments of confusion and madness through out the film and the pace, shooting and storytelling unfolded effortlessly for such a kind of film ( real-time action ) I sat down to watch it with very few expectations and I liked the docu/film approach, considering it is based on the main character's real life events.

Very bad acting at times cheesy as if a group of freinds got together to film on their smartphone.

The main actor Has no charisma or any purpose and looks terrible physically not convincing as a goon more like a dish washer restaurant worker.

Albanian criminals don't act like that they are a lot quieter and way more organised as they work with everyone as money sees no colour.

They have to keep a low profile most of the times as there is a big risk of deportation if caught.

Whoever is the Director /producer hasn't done his/ her homework to have any understanding of their world just assumed things.

I had to Google whether it was a documentary or a movie. I'm still watching it..it hasn't held my interest that much but I'll give it a chance. Someone said the main character "Vinny?" Doesn't look or act like an Albanian gangster because he's loud etc.. supposedly Albanian gangsters don't act like the one's in this movie.. what they forgot is these guys are New Yorker's first and that's EXACTLY how New York gangsters act. They're angry, loud, easily triggered, obnoxious and VERY disrespectful of most women except their Mother's. It says I don't have enough characters to post my comment sooo.. maybe this is enough now.

A poignant and hard hitting tour de force from Matthew A Brown.

Saw this in Amazon, loved it. Please make more movies like this.

I have heard stories about the Albanian mob in NY for years. This film is a dark little window into the hidden subculture. Super interesting and beautifully made. I really loved it.
