    'The Alto Knights' delivered for me. A (biographical) crime drama featuring Robert De Niro, what's not to love? It's a bio about Vito Genovese and Frank Costello, two people I'm not all that familiar with but the story is an easy one to understand and follow so it matters not. I'm not absolutely sold on the documentary-esque scenes, though everything more traditional is excellent in my opinion. It doesn't feel like it adds anything new to the genre, much of it does feel derivative, but I'm not even hating at all because I highly enjoyed it. De Niro is as quality as one would expect in this sorta role, or roles as it is. I didn't initially know it was a dual, so I was actually quizzing myself as to if it was him playing both; I was like, it sounds like him but the make-up is good enough that I'm not convinced to be honest. Only me, I'm sure.

    You guys remember how bad Gotti was? Well this is what happens when someone tries to out-do De Niro in anything. He took a breath, told Travolta to hold his beer, and sat down and showed him how bad a mob movie can really be. Part of it is, well it's De Niro's politics. He isn't just outspoken politically, he's an outspoken cry-bully and that who cry baby attitude makes it pretty unbelievable when you're playing a mobster. And part of it goes a little deeper, The Good Shepard was his last decent flick and Matt Damon had to carry him through it. So now we get De Niro playing two roles that he never should have been cast in to begin with. We have a good script that no one can seem to sell. One that was probably written by the most expensive AI on the market, as testament by it's overwhelming cliches and predictable plot twists. It's amateur hour here, but, hey, at least Gotti is good by comparison.
