Om denne filmen

Filmen «The Many Saints of Newark» er den etterlengtede forløperen til den banebrytende, prisbelønte HBO-dramaserien «The Sopranos». Unge Anthony Soprano vokser opp under den eksplosive epoken med opprør i Newark mens rivaliserende gangstere begynner å utfordre den mektige DiMeo-familiens kontroll over en by med stadig større raseskiller. Onkelen Anthony ser opp til, Dickie Moltisanti, blir fanget i omveltningene, og sliter med å balansere yrkeslivet og de personlige ansvarsområdene sine. Innflytelsen hans på nevøen bidrar til å forme den lett påvirkelige tenåringen til den allmektige gangsterbossen vi senere blir kjent med: Tony Soprano.

I usually enjoy movies from this timeline and setting but not this one. Performances and direction were good and very convincing but the plot and character development were very poor. Watched this movie for good 2 hrs and had no idea what was going on or what the story is trying to tell. Too many characters with no background build or check, yeah you can easily get bored with this one, very forgettable.

The single worst movie experience I have ever had. It was a horrible mess of a story. It has made me lose faith in cinema. The show references were utter garbage and just shallow. I remember my mother used to beat me with a spoon and I would rather go back to that than to watch this piece of trash again.

3 and a half out of 5. While I never saw The Sopranos TV show yet, I still felt this was a tense and scary look at rising crime in the 60s with different gangs. One thing that was interesting and tense was that some of these people killed others easily and not much security was around and when it seemed to be around it was during riots. There was a couple arrests in the film I think a couple however. . A interesting crime thriller prequel, one that tells Tony's story well more towards the end.
