"The Alto Knights," directed by Barry Levinson and starring Robert De Niro, aims to captivate with its mafia theme but ends up being an aimless experience. Despite the potential of the rivalry between mob bosses Frank Costello and Vito Genovese, the film drags with a confusing and unfocussed narrative. Key characters feel underdeveloped, while scenes linger on mundane details, detracting from the intrigue typically found in mafia films. The lack of a strong plot and engaging character arcs results in a disappointing outing for viewers expecting something more akin to classic mafia dramas.
From the team that brought you 'Goodfellas' is an enticing sell for anybody who loves mafia movies. But the end results feel disappointing.
The story of mob bosses Frank Costello and Vito Genovese is dense and confusing, leading to an unfocused narrative that fails to engage.
