Solid gangtser movie with dual roles for Robert De Niro - The Alto Knights review by AER
Robert De Niro plays two reali-life mob bosses of the 1950s - 1980s: FRANK COSTELLO and VITO GENOVESE. Alto Knights sees the return of classic 80s/90s director BARRY LEVINSON (GOOD MORNING VIETNAM. BUGSY, RAIN MAN, TOYS, SLEEPERS. SPHERE) with a gangster flick that could've been made in his hey day. De Niro gives good gangster and whilst the plot runs to very little, the script sparkles with wit as the mobsters bicker and carp about Mormons, the perfect assasination, guns and broads. There's some intentional comedy to be enjoyed as Frank Costello walking boutique dogs garmed up in mink coats through Central Park, and a polic raid on a mobster BBQ in the sticks. It's good to see a gangster flick like this nowadays, but it's something of a dinosaur. I enjoyed it, but it adds nothing to the existing collection of The Godfather trilogy, Goodfellas, The Irishman, and Levinson's own BUGSY.
