Barry Levinson directs Robert DeNiro, Robert DeNiro and Debra Messing in this true gangster story of warring mob bosses.

Solid trot through of the beloved mob cliches. Classy but creaky, the weakened gait of old age gives it a sense of unintentional camp. The gimmick of De Niro facing off against himself actually works fine in the moments but his Vito Genovese is pretty much just a Joe Pesci impersonation. I have read the book on Genovese and more exciting stuff happens after his coup.
