So-so Rambling Mafia Drama - both Confused and Confusing - The Birthday Cake review by PV
This is a slight movie which feels more like a short story, to be honest, adapted from a pulp crime novel, I think.
I saw the great reveal climax (no spoilers) coming a mile off. All I can say is these must be the dimmest mobsters in history not to see it.
All meandering and rambling really, very episodic, confused and confusing. Many things not explained - such as specifically why the main character's brother Leo is being pursued. Or who is in the police.
Watch Breaking Bad instead, from series 1, to see classy 5 star mob/mafia drama.
Anyway it passes the time, so 2.5 stars rounded up.
