Chicago Overcoat

If you want to watch a good mob mafia movie this is decent

I liked the story line and the tommy gun action but the rest of he film was a boring mess of obscenities and dumb stupidities!

The hitman dropped guns full of fingerprints and the acting was over the top Italian gangster mumble talk.

Cops made so many mistakes around the gunmen they deserved to die. Running straight into a room where a gunman may be.

Final shootout has the hitman swing round with a gun when any good cop would have stepped back and to the side ready for such a thing and put two bullets into him!

What baffled me was why are the streets, bars and restaurants so empty!

I'll not bother watching it again.

Great movie... Great idea... Terrible acting and directing

The action scenes were better than expected but surely not so realistic. Only the main actors have any agency.

I was living in Chicago when much of this was filmed. This is true life, forget "fake reality TV", this is the real deal. The main star grows on you, you can empathize and feel what he is feeling, although you might not choose his route! Point is, when I finished watching, early in the morning, I thought, "Wow, this is a great movie". Gritty, real in the mob life, the drug life, the police life, and politics. Here you have a criminal, a former hit-man, and he has needs, to care for his family, to hold his rep, to be cared for. The ending was I surprise. I won't spoil, just watch the movie!
