Review of The Dukes (2007) by Mason M — 20 Sep 2009
You may remember Robert Davi as the villain in License To Kill, but here he serves as star and director of this nice little movie that could. Davi portrays Danny DePasquale, formerly the star of a doo-wop group with his best friend George Zucco (Chazz Palminteri, awesome).
The time is about twenty years after their hey-day, and both are working at an Italian restaurant in California run by their aunt. They bother their former manager for a comeback (Peter Bogdanovich, terrific) and come up with a plan to turn the place into an oldies lounge.
How does that go? Not as you might expect.Davi turns in a potent directing debut, with great turns from Palminteri and Bogdanovich, and great tunes as well.
