The tough streets of Brooklyn is the backdrop except every house in every neighborhood looks nice? DeMeo looked lean an mean, but his writing and acting was not good. For some strange reason this guy is infatuated with gangsters. The story is the rags to riches climb for Anthony Rodrigues who's picked on as a kid for being 1/2 Spanish. Maybe in the 60's - not in the 80's. Anyway, he makes it, wins the title, then has a comatose interview with a half-asleep and totally disinterested Larry Merchant. The live story between DiMeo and Shannon Doherty is ice cold.
Danny Glover was asleep saying his lines, Michael Madden looked and acted awful, Alec Baldwin was good, Annabella Sciora was horrendous opposite Christian DiMeo, and Joe Dinofrio was his usual bad self. Too many obvious cliches - they actually call Dinofrio, a Joe Pesci wannabe. Directorial decision we're all wrong especially the ridiculous cameo of Paul Borgese who directed the mess. The Best thing about the film were the muscle cars.
