Mortal @Kostas871 Jan 4 For the people that think this is a pure mafia movie, good principles against criminals, it's not that. It is basically a story about getting older with a strict father figure and near mobsters who want to enlist you. If you liked Goodfellas , you're probably going to like this as well.
