Tony Martone

Awesome movie the cast did exellent and it was directed very well by a joe mcgee i enjoyed this film it was really good great job to the cast and crew and everyone helped make this masterpiece and also rip to joes dad he did the music for the film which theres a tribute to that at the very end .....

I have to assume the reviews so far were from cast and crew from this movie.

This is a master class in bad editing and even worse acting.

I don't think I have ever seen anything so bad. You have to watch it, or at least some of it, to get the full effect of just how bad a movie can be.

An impressive mob movie

It's a gangster film with its share of violence but it's also a heartfelt drama moments in the film. I watched it now for the second time and each time like it even more. Not quite Godfather scale epic-ness nor the explosive attitude of Scarface.

In this film it describes the ins and outs of mafia life, and does so from a very interesting perspective. I did enjoy the way Tony Martone gets a message to the Amato family. It was clever writing, The script was so sharp in places, with some great injections of humor. I particularly loved the scenes where Amato was asking about the dock worker and the underboss was describing trying to use a swordfish to cause a freak accident.

As well as all of the above the overall plot is great, very gripping and interesting. I'm not the biggest fan of gangster type movies. They tend to be full of cliché and stereotype in my opinion and rely on graphic content for entertainment and therefore are often thin of depth. But this was one of the better films with an actual plot. This one reaches down inside and really makes you feel, and it really makes you think. A true mobster classic of all times.

Tony Martone or The Tony Soprano?

Tony Martone has all the ingredients for a great crime film. It's got hits, bad language, violence, gambling, corrupt cops, all of the main ingridenets for a mob film.

Furthermore, it's got a great soundtrack, with blues music...but somehow, it's missing one ingredient, maybe its picking Tony Martone as the name, but it felt very Soprano feeling to me. The picking of title character name felt like a copy of Tony Soprano. I wonder why they selected Tony Martone for the title and character?

I'm not sure if it was just me but I felt like Tony Martone was trying to be like Tony Soprano. Don't get me wrong the plot and story has nothing to do with each other, i felt that Tony Martone was trying to out due Tony Soprano in terms of being that respected guy, a guy you don't touch. In some sense Tony Soprano as a series had much more comedy in it. Maybe in my mind I was comparing them against each other.

Is this a mob flick? A comedy? A drama? A satire? Who knows?

Still, at least the movie manages to stay interesting for most of it's runtime.

Absolutely amazing film!!!!! Definitely watch this, you will not be disappointed! 👏👏👏 This movie was great from beginning to end!

Can't wait to see more from these actors!
