    • Quotes

      Malo: What's the worst thing you ever did, Joe?

      Joe Sarcone: The worst thing I ever did was trust the wrong man.

      Malo: How do you know when you're trusting the wrong man?

      Joe Sarcone: You're questioning me? Huh, you lttle shit? I always make my decision with my hed, not my heart. I got to where I am in this world by taking advantage of people's trust, and I'm not ashamed of that. There's a Maldonado seed. You hungry?

      Malo: I can always eat.

      Joe Sarcone: Kitchen never closes, and everybody eats at my table.

      Malo: You really trust everybody in here?

      Joe Sarcone: That door you just walked through only works one way - In. Once you're in, the only way out is to the sounds of gunshots and bagpipes.

    freelancers or freeloaders!!!
    OK for a Saturday evening film, when the washing up is done and all quiet in the house, this will keep you fit as you slide into a deep sleep without the aid of a milky drink and a chocie biscuit. Firstly Mr whitaker looks decidedly lost in this film not a role for the Last King of Scotland more like Mc duff! De Niro just there for the money and film credits (he has done 163 now) and Mr 50p made a good effort, he hit most of his marks and looked slightly interested in the unfolding story, but his facial expressions changing every 17.6 became most annoying put me off taking him to serious as a lead role (has he got some form of Palsy? in that case he did well)

    Story was the same as previous stories, the only difference they were told better and with more conviction from the characters (yes Vinnie i mean you). Best part of the film, as when i got up to search for some more washing up. all work and no play.
