Was on demand, vatti and I clicked it and were surprised as to what kind of movie it actually turned out to be. Filmed as if it's an older flick, with an interesting cast of characters (known and unknown) no less. This film completely highlights a dark part of history that many do not know about (till now anyways). Well told although the story itself is shameful to say the least. Review TBC.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

New Orleans, 1890: The rising tide of immigrants from Italy, brought in to do manual labor cheaper then whites or blacks, has caused many powerful men concern when the immigrants begin to prosper. Orchestrating the murder of the New Orleans police chief David Hennessey, these men have 19 Italians arressted. 9 are put on trial. They are found innocent...but the politicians and business owners won't stand for that and these 9 innocent men become the victims of the largest lynching in American history. Good movie with some good acting from Clancy Brown, Christopher Walken and Bruce Davison. Contains many eerie similarities to the American debate over illeagal immigration from Mexico.

An ok drama mob film based on a true story. My fav part was that handsome extra in the background of a few scenes(Me). Anyway if you like average mob flicks starring Christopher Walken and me check it out.

An effectively grim movie about corruption and "the American Dream." An example of one of unfortunately many cases of American oppression of minorities.
