Review of The Brooklyn Banker (2016) by Diane B — 06 Aug 2016
A MUST SEE from Classified Pictures helmed by actor Federico Castelluccio in his feature film directorial debut and written by first time screenwriter Michael Ricigliano, THE BROOKLYN BANKER is an intimate, gripping, and ultimately chilling chronicle of a family caught up in the culture and legacy of the Italian American mob dynamic in the 1970s.
The ensemble cast is riveting in its layered, complex, and sensitive portrayals of complicated lives dealing with the harshness and shocking violence of an age-old tradition that continues to dictate every aspect of existence.
Story and characters are engrossing and engaging as guided by the steady hand of Castelluccio whose deep appreciation for the actors' craft yields powerful performances as relationships develop with aching resonance and the tale wends its way to a haunting conclusion.
