Is it a joke ??

[apepatch1 · 1/10 · 31 August 2020]

I feel really sorry for everyone involved in this... There is not much that can be said but it is truly awful...So bad I could only believe its a joke..a terrible,awful joke.

So bad it's good

[williamjbarry · 1/10 · 1 September 2020]

I don't know it was a serious attempt at film or satire. It's really really really terrible

A Masterclass in how NOT to make a movie

[seanmurphy-53590 · 2/10 · 31 August 2020]

So why 2 stars ?, you may wonder. Sheer entertainment, but for all the wrong reasons. Acting, editing, props, mismatched locations and obviously, directing; the whole project is a disaster. But, even with my mouth agape with disbelief, I had great fun watching this. Yeah, I know, I need to get a life.

It's that badly made its funny!

[daviddegiorgio · 2/10 · 10 September 2020]

Think The Room but with no money and gangsters! If anything I laughed my head off at how terrible the film making, acting and writing is, so don't let low scores out you off. You will most definitely laugh, long as you know it's for the wrong reasons in this so called Crime thriller

Irish Stew and Pizza

[dcarroll74 · 31 August 2020]

That's about all you'd get for the estimated budget of this negative budget movie. As for the current 1 positive review, it is obvious it's somebody connected to this steaming pile, that is probably a student project. Find a day job and go back to it. Movie making and acting is definitely not the forte of this cast and crew.

Incredibly Bad

[aidanco · 1/10 · 31 August 2020]

Acting, Editing, Accents and screenplay all horrendous don't watch

Made it the whole way through

[ejayinc · 2/10 · 7 December 2020]

I've never laughed so hard for all the wrong reasons.

Fantastically Bad

[bowdarrell · 1/10 · 2 October 2020]

This film is sooo bad, it's not even funny. I watched Naked Nuns With big Guns a few weeks ago, It was a masterpiece compared to this. This film Has no redeeming features.

Not a good movie

[dydmoney · 1/10 · 5 September 2020]

Thought it was filmed in an iPhone or a comedy. Horrible if this is what the Italians and irish have to watch I feel for them.

I tried but... no.

[ncm-33860 · 1/10 · 5 September 2020]

In the first few minutes there was horrible camerawork and terrible acting; the narrator was also horrible at explaining the story. I thought this was just the beginning and I should give a shot since not everyone can act and maybe mistakes were made. But as I continued the acting never improved, neither did the cameras, storyline or scenes. I knew if this was how the first 30 mins was going to be, the rest will be exactly the same. So I just, I couldn't even though I am usually a "look at the bright side" type of person.

No Way!

[seanprawn333 · 1/10 · 5 September 2020]

The best thing about this is reading the reviews...the only entertainment you'll get!

awful

[darr-97453 · 1/10 · 4 September 2020]

Was one of the worst gangster films iv ever watched but watched to the end dont know why or how

This film shows that I too, can be a high flying movie producer / director with my very own iPhone.

[dsebring-166-598399 · 2/10 · 3 September 2020]

The depth of emotion, was truly staggering. Like a drunk porcupine wandering through a see of balloons. The sheer genius of itlaian mafiosos in Rome speaking with Irish accents was absolutely brilliant!!!

Sorry, only made it 20 mins

[Xavier_Stone · 2/10 · 1 September 2020]

Perhaps it is unfair to review a movie after only 20 minutes. But to be fair this was as much as I needed to see.

I'm not impressed with what I see by then I tap out early. And there is a lot to be unimpressed with.

Makes me embarrassed to be Irish

[seanq-46416 · 1/10 · 9 November 2020]

The cheapest rubbish ever. It's like they filmed it on a new iphone and walked around the neighborhood and asked random people do you want to be in a film. The bar couldn't be any lower.

Waste of 20 mins of my life

[z3rocool · 1/10 · 24 October 2020]

This was the worst used 20 mins of my life. I couldn't go on anymore, it was so bad, the acting was terrible, the storyline was terrible, I think you could watch TikTok skits and be more entertained than watching this. An half Irish guy as a mob boss, makes no sense at all, you have to be a full blooded Italian and a made man, this guy was literally a pleb nobody.

Plastic, wooden, total garbages

[jillyr-77375 · 1/10 · 20 September 2020]

This must be a spoof and a bad one at that. Rented it and feel robbed. Acting terrible, sets and props awful, special effects makeup looks like it's been done by a hobbyist face painter. If it is a spoof it's not funny!!

Kiss the Ring

[nogodnomasters · 3/10 · 14 September 2020]

Sonny (Gerard Daly ) has an Italian mother (Maria Fiorentini ) and an Irish father who separated when he was a child. Raised in Rome he inherits the Godfather position from his uncle. When a son he didn't know he had in Ireland is killed (apparently conceived on a trip to visit his dad), Sonny vows revenge against the Irish gangsters.

Apparently this is supposed to be a comedy or a spoof because it wasn't much of a crime story. It lacked the dialogue, swagger, and soundtrack of a comedy and relies strictly on plot which didn't carry the film.

Guide: F-word. sex. brief nudity.

Different from the usual crap

[ileddysd · 9/10 · 1 September 2020]

If you're not narrow minded and spoon fed on Hollywood blockbusters, like some of the ungrateful cry babies who posted reviews here, you might well enjoy this effort. It may look a bit cliche',-but it works and It's not pretentious, and it's even funny. I enjoyed this more than the last ten movies i watched; cinema releases included. If you liked 'Blood Car" - you will like this as well.

fantastic movie !

[roger_2020 · 31 August 2020]

One of, if not THE greatest mobster films of all time. "Sonny Capone" is a cinematic masterpiece from start to finish with it's brilliant pacing, brilliant performances and brilliant storytelling from the director Gerard Dalye. It's a film that is virtually flawless as there's not a single shot or edit that drags. There's nothing you could possibly change or clip from this final cut, you'd be hard pressed to nitpick anything wrong with this 90min classic. What makes "Sonny Capone" stand out from other gangster films is it's brutal portrayal of a life of crime, and nails every detail of the highs and lows in such a way that's cinematically stunning. So many iconic, quotable scenes make this one of the gangster films of all time.

A movie before it's time

[sfarrelly65 · 10/10 · 7 January 2021]

This is a fantastic movie and would highly recommend it to anyone. I felt this movie captured the true essence of life in Dublin. This movie is a work of art and would hold its own against any big studio crime drama. I believe this movie should be considered for multiple Oscars particularly for the screenplay, editing and acting.

this film grows on you

[martenlawism · 1 December 2020]

First time I seen this film , I taught it was a joke but on another viewing I really liked it strange but true

Has been a very long time I laughed during a whole movie

[IrishReg · 10/10 · 24 November 2020]

Well, I assume it was not intended to be a comedy/parody but for the sake of everybody who worked on this "movie" I hope it was.. I could not stop laughing, after blinking my eyes and scratching my head for the first 3 minutes about what it was I was witnessing, I started to see the fun in it.. And yes there is a lot of fun to be got once you stop taking this movie for serious in any way. The acting, the venues, the plot...just hilarious..cult classic in the making
