nick s Competently directed gangster film, constrained somewhat by the filming era. The main character was sleazy and really had no redeeming features. But well acted. By the way, having watched a short bio on mad dog Coll I can assure you this movie is just inspired by his life, it's not accurate at all. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/02/24 Full Review Audience Member good gangster/bio-pic Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member John Davis Chandler was a giant punk for all ages, a terrific villain, and scared mothers over 5'7" to death. He was my hero. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Would've been an alright movie if they changed the title from Mad Dog Coll to something else & not been so over the top.I'm NOT an expert on Mad Dog Coll but True Crime is 1 of my favorite subjects.There were some major things wrong with it: 1. When Coll shot the kids, He wasn't trying to escape an attack.He tried to kidnap a gangster,failed & it turned into a shootout 2. Coll was killed in a telephone booth but it wasn't by cops, It was by gangsters As far as I know, Coll wasn't some insane gangster & only got the nickname Mad Dog after the shootout where the kids died & some were wounded.Also in this movie there are some familiar faces you'll probably recognize.Jerry Orbach, Vincent Gardenia & Gene Hackman in his debut Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member good kinda bio-pic gangster movie Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
