Review of The Many Saints of Newark (2021) by Hotelcentral — 23 Mar 2023

I debated whether to give this flick a 6 or a 7 and I dislike joining the river of negativity but nothing in this two-hour excursion really did much for me. A lot of time seemed to be devoted to Harold McBrayer and his criminal gang and that was a problem for me because I signed up to watch about the American mafia, not their competition. Added to that I kept getting confused about who was who and if I hadn't read that a youthful Artie Bucco and Jackie Aprile and **** Bonpensiero were supposed to be in the show . . . I have no idea where they were. They could've been cut in post-production for all I know.

All in all, this was not an inspired film. Other reviewers say it lacks substance and a reason for being and probably they're right. Go ahead and try it, but don't expect much.
