A Bronx Tale (1998, DVD)

Movie Description
Robert DeNiro stars in his directorial debut as Lorenzo Anello, a dutiful father and blue-collar bus driver from the harsh New York City borough of the Bronx whom tries desperately to keep his son Calogero from surrendering to the temptation of organized crime. When Calogero witnesses Mafia kingpin Sonny (Chaz Palminteri) commit murder, he decides to honor the "code of the streets" and offers no information to the cops when interrogated. Consequently, a friendship is forged between Sonny and Calogero, and--against his father's wishes--the young man joins the Mafia. Calogero respects his father, though can not seem to shake his new lifestyle, but when push comes to shove it is his father who must confront the mob and save his son's life, leaving Calogero to re-examine the magnitude of his father's honest work ethics.

    Now this is a real gangster movie. Cover a broad range of social issues, a Bronx Tale still manages to be a hardcore gangster film, complete with a Boss and rival factions! Robert DeNiro directs the film, and as his firstion direction, makes quite a mark on the movie world! Thanks for reading my opinion, and if you'ld like to check out my store, I am permitted by ebay to provide you a link here:

    I tend to enjoy romantic comedys and rarely sway from that topic....but this movie just really caught my interest and I have wanted it for some time. Enjoyable actors and never a dull scene. Very very good movie that covered a multitude of family issues in an entertaining way. I never miss watching it when it is on TV and now I can watch it whenever I want because I just bought it on Ebay.

      Life Changing Movie
    Review created: 07/19/08

    This movie was very inspiring to me. The movie was set sometime in the 1960s. It deals with racism and multi-culturalism in The Bronx, NY. Yet, it demonstrates how important it is to stay true to yourself and not waste your own talent. Also, the movie is a statement about Robert De Niro's own experiences with interracial romance. De Niro has been married twice to black women. I have rented this movie a few times and was excited to have the chance to own it.

    This movie is a classic; it has not been in production for many years, so when I saw that it was offered on ebay I immediately jumped at the opportunity to purchase it. The DVD was new, still in it's plastic seal. The cover was not damaged in any way. After promptly receiving the DVD I viewed it. It is a perfect copy. Thank you for the opportunity to share my views of an excellent movie that was in pristine condition.
