Mafia Inc

I love gangster movies . Without a doubt it's my favourite genre of films and TV.

Mafia Inc is a pretty good example of the genre without it actually pulling up too many trees .

The Gamache, tailors from father to son, have been dressing the Mafia family Paternò for three generation. Vince works on behalf of Frank the godfather with his eldest son Giaco. Vince seeks to earn his stripes by impressing the godfather.

This has more of the feel of a TV drama rather than a film. That's not a big criticism as there are some brilliant foreign language gangster tv shows such as Subbura and Gomorrah and this can definitely sit along side those .

It has a mixture of languages. Italian , French , Spanish and English and that does get a little bit annoying at times. I'm not sure what they didn't just do it all in Italian .

The storyline is really good but with one flaw .

The person who is portrayed as the hero figure , Vince , does something so despicable at the start of the film , I found it impossible to side with him. So you end up wanting them all to get what's coming to them . Maybe that was the plan ?

I think this would have benefited from having half an hour shaved off or it being a made into a series instead but I have to say I found it entertaining and very well acted .

Well made with usual mafia plot ie killing lots of people. Entertaining though with strong cast and not too far short of the Godfather.

If you want a Brilliant Mafia film and don't mind subtitles, this is as good as the Godfather, and I did not know there was Mafia in Canada? and the lead played by the Brilliant Sergio Castellitto is up there with Brando. This is much more Gritty and actually more Violent.

I would say GOOD FELLAS instead of Francis Coppola's masterpiece, because of the biopic and vintage elements involved, with musics of the period which this film talks about. It remains excellent, gritty, bloody and very well acted too. I guess this is one of the best Canadian crime film ever; just guess because I don't know the film industry from Quebec. Anyway, it could hardly have been better.

Canadian, not Brazilian trilingual, with a decently performing cast, and with a plausible storyline in which a family with ties to the old country attemps to invest in the building of a bridge between Calabria and Sicilia, that is expected to become enough of a goldmine to be able to go legit. And contrairy to the review as published on the mainpage, with no affliliations, or even an attempt to try to copy The Godfather, at all.
