About this movie

“The Many Saints of Newark” is the much‐anticipated feature film prequel to the groundbreaking, award‐winning HBO drama series The Sopranos. Young Anthony Soprano is growing up in the explosive era of the Newark’s riots, becoming a man just as rival gangsters begin to rise up and challenge the all-powerful DiMeo crime family’s hold over the increasingly race-torn city. Caught up in the changing times is the uncle he idolizes, Dickie Moltisanti, who struggles to manage both his professional and personal responsibilities—and whose influence over his nephew will help make the impressionable teenager into the all-powerful mob boss we’ll later come to know: Tony Soprano.

I usually enjoy movies from this timeline and setting but not this one. Performances and direction were good and very convincing but the plot and character development were very poor. Watched this movie for good 2 hrs and had no idea what was going on or what the story is trying to tell. Too many characters with no background build or check, yeah you can easily get bored with this one, very forgettable.

The single worst movie experience I have ever had. It was a horrible mess of a story. It has made me lose faith in cinema. The show references were utter garbage and just shallow. I remember my mother used to beat me with a spoon and I would rather go back to that than to watch this piece of trash again.

3 and a half out of 5. While I never saw The Sopranos TV show yet, I still felt this was a tense and scary look at rising crime in the 60s with different gangs. One thing that was interesting and tense was that some of these people killed others easily and not much security was around and when it seemed to be around it was during riots. There was a couple arrests in the film I think a couple however. . A interesting crime thriller prequel, one that tells Tony's story well more towards the end.
