    One Star for how Vic looks, not how he talks
    6 reasons why this movie was beyond trash: 1. It was like a documentary 2. Poor cast 3. Vic while easy on the eyes, had the worst fake Donald Duck voice ever 4. McNally is NOT a family man, he's always a villian 5. Was slightly tolerable so long as no one spoke 6. Just trash, why didn't they get a hick to play Vic's part OR let Vic talk in his Bronx voice that he always had?

    Just an awful movie. I noticed already Vic was having problems breathing. If he hadn't of died as he did, he would have died of emphysema and lung cancer quick.

    He swags when he runs too. He is the only actor, along with Mickey Rourke to swag and get away with it.
