I have read other reviews of this and got more of a sense of what this film was about, or at least what they thought it was about. But for me it was a big mess and a hard watch, and made no sense.
It drags on and on. It has scene after scene that add nothing. Basically he is going to a memorial gathering to his father with a cake his mum has made, a repeat of what he has done ever year since his death. This year it is the 10th anniversary. He bumps into the feds, pops into various establishments, where they all talk about Leo and sometimes Puerto Ricans. Anyway he eventually gets to his memorial, Val Kilmer is the boss he nods a bit, looks concerned and when he speaks through his voice box you can't understand a word he says. They tuck into the cake and all die except one bloke in a room who has an oxygen mask on who tells him to f off.
He wonders back to his brothers Leo's house, who is being tortured by a dodgy cop who he had met earlier. We get a hint that the same cop killed his dad. After a bit of a scrap he kills the cop.
He goes to the church where he sees a priest he knows and his mum is waiting, so seemingly she (and maybe the priest) had it all planned. This was all portrayed as the main character becoming a man. Were these 3 people going to become the new bosses, who knows? Why did his mum decide to kill them all? What actually happened to his dad? Who was the bloke in the oxygen mask? Why did no-one like Leo? Why was the film made, and was nobody quality checking it?
