    • Crazy credits
      MPAA Certificate No. 999999. Seems made up, since numbers are only 5 digits in the year 2020. Apparently The Darwin Awards (2006) also has this number.

    A big disappointment
    My wife picked out "Staten Island" (that was the movie's title and the title on the DVD. I'm not sure why IMDb has it listed as "Little New York") and we were both looking forward to it. Unfortunately, "Staten Island" was disappointing. Certainly there was a mix of humor, irony and some grim aspects. But after reading the description on the box, it failed to meet expectations.

    That said, Seymour Cassel was outstanding as a deaf, mute butcher who occasionally did work for the mob. You really felt for him throughout the movie. Ethan Hawke had a convincing time portraying a stereotyped "less than bright" septic tank worker. I'm not partial to Vincent D'Onofrio's limited acting abilities and he didn't fail to disappoint. I don't understand how he lands movie roles. He has enough trouble with his TV roles.

    If you're looking to rent a decent mob movie, I'd look elsewhere. While not horrible "Staten Island" left us wanting.
