Plot:
It's the late 1930s in New York City, and two men, Ray Tempio and Chez Tempio, are burying their younger brother, Johnny. Johnny's demise came as the result of three bullets to the chest, but he didn't name his assailant before slipping into a coma. That doesn't stop Ray, a petty gangster, from thirsting for revenge. Despite the pleas of his wife, Jeanette, he's determined to find Johnny's killer and exact retribution, and he has a pretty good idea who he's looking for. Meanwhile, Chez, who has always been prone to bouts of uncontrollable violence, teeters on the edge of sanity, and even his wife, Clara, has trouble calming him. - James Berardinelli

Comment:
A very dark, slow and boring movie, featuring violence and strong language. It can be seen as a strange gangster movie but it is really miles away from some good movies of this genre such as Once Upon a Time in America.

The plot is rather uninteresting but the really negative point of the movie is the slowness of the scenes. During most of the time nothing actually happens and there seems to be nothing that stimulates the audience's attention.

The ending is rather strange and also a bit unexpected and it seems to be one of the few good moments of the whole movie although it isn't enough to justify more than one hour of boredom!
