Um þessa kvikmynd

Based on true events and Executive Produced by Martin Scorsese and Dean Devlin, comes The Wannabe, a story about Thomas (Piazza), a man obsessed with Mafia culture during the 1990s in New York City. When Thomas’s failed attempts to fix the trial of infamous mobster John Gotti gets him rejected by the people he idolizes most, he sets off on a drug infused crime spree with his girlfriend and long time mob groupie, Rose (Arquette), by brazenly robbing the local Mafia hangouts.

Einkunnir og umsagnir

The two stars are very good actors, but the script is awful. It's a shame that the movie is so flat. I think it would have been better if the movie had explored Thomas and Rosemarie Uva's ( the real life couple) childhood and background to show the terrible effects of drug addiction. It would be a real challenge to write an interesting script about people whose lives were so sad. Not even Martin Scorsese could save this one.

Slow...yet worth a look

Bada bing!!!!
