O tomto filmu

„Všichni svatí mafie“ je napjatě očekávaný filmový prequel k revolučnímu oceňovanému dramatickému seriálu HBO Rodina Sopránů. Mladý Anthony Soprano vyrůstá ve výbušné éře nepokojů v Newarku. Mužem se stává právě ve chvíli, kdy soupeřící gangsteři začínají povstávat proti nadvládě mocné zločinecké rodiny DiMeo nad městem, ve kterém bují rasové roztržky. V měnících se časech uvízne jeho idol – strýc Dickie Moltisanti, který se snaží zvládat své profesní i osobní povinnosti a jehož vliv nad synovcem přispěje k tomu, aby se ze snadno ovlivnitelného teenagera stal mocný mafiánský boss, kterého později poznáme jako Tonyho Soprana.

Hodnocení a recenze

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.
