BLESS ME FATHER is the debut award-winning feature film of Milly-May & Gianni McLaughlin. The movie is a raw crime drama-thriller depicting the Italian mob, the Catholic Church and family life in New Jersey. The cast is composed of all New Jersey locals/non-actors, making this one of the first modern neorealist Italian mob films. Vinny Dapello confesses his sins and unveils the ugly truth of his life; he is a hitman for the New Jersey Italian mob. Will he follow his father's footsteps in the organized crime family or sacrifice his life to save his soul?

It plays out as a mob tale with a heart about a hitman for the Italian mafia wanting to quit after turning uneasy about his job being amoral.

Understand this was low budget, but the acting was terrible. You would want to see someone shine/stand out as an up and comer. Just not there. Also, the realism of the mafia life just wasn't there.

This movie would be an insult to a cockroach’s intelligence.
