Give director Paul Borghese credit for daring in giving his movie a title that evokes Sergio Leone’s two most famous epics. The trouble with doing that, of course, is that you better be prepared to deliver a movie on the same level. Read full review

Once Upon a Time in Brooklyn's vision of the Mafia comes filtered through a needlessly complex screenplay, as if the creators felt the need to prove they've seen a few Arnaud Desplechin films alongside Goodfellas. Read full review

I liked it a lot, great work and congrats to all who were involved in the production and the writing and also the acting and the lighting and the costumes and the effects and the legal department and the catering, but not the animal wranglers, they were truly dreadful and should have been fired and also killed.… Expand
