Okay the premise of this movie is a little silly. Our protagonist Jimmy O'Connor (James Stanek) is caught between three conflicting career paths - his family wants him to become a fireman just like them, his best friend has mob ties, and he secretly yearns to be an actor and get out of Brooklyn. Borough Of Kings aka Brooklyn Sonnet has some moments that even a TV movie would be ashamed of plotwise but Philip Bosco and Joseph Lyle Taylor turn in amusing respective performances as a mob don and a street level thug. Watch for Olympia Dukakis in a small but amusing role as a director with a very modern take on Hamlet.
