YOUR RATING
The Prince of Arthur Avenue (2012)
It's another lovely day in Little Italy:  the sun is shining, the birds are singing - and an aging mobster is strolling down Arthur Avenue on his way to a
meeting.
   Frank Bernardo, a man who is both respected and feared, has lived here all his life - in fact, he pretty much runs things around here - and although these days the neighborhood is packed with tourists, it's still a great place.  Frank is greeted by his dependable capo, Sonny, at Frank's stylish restaurant, a place where reality seems to merge with the romance associated with mob life:  just down the street is where  "The Godfather" hit scene was filmed; and in the next block is where a waiter named Joe Pesci was discovered by Robert De Niro.  Here, over a bottle of Chianti, Frank Bernardo reminisces about the good old days, when mobsters got whatever they wanted - and when the code of "onorta", or honor - still meant something.  But it's
still a violent and vindictive world - as we are soon reminded, when Frank orders Sonny to whack an associate.
   Sonny, whose sense of honor and duty is unbounded, accedes to Frank's  command with scant protest; and he and Tony, a less-principled mobster, plan the job. 
   But on Arthur Avenue, things are not always the way they seem - and Sonny finds himself confronted with an agonizing decision that will leave him no way out.
   Producer/director Terrence Knight turned downtown Olympia, Washington, into a facsimile of the Bronx to make "The Prince of Arthur Avenue", an entertaining and exciting short about the anguished demands of honor in a violent world.  It's a thrilling mob-genre action flick with a cryptic message and, above all, is entertaining as all hell.
