Frank Swietek One Guy's Opinion An action movie so ineptly plotted and clumsily executed that watching it is likely to leave you in a haze of confusion and annoyance.... Even among sub-B-level action thrillers, “Mafia Wars” is pretty anemic stuff. Rated: D- Oct 14, 2024 Full Review Ben Gibbons Screen Rant Mafia Wars is a sad attempt at an action thriller that delivers a little action and almost no thrills, owing to the tired and lazy storytelling. Rated: 1.5/5 Oct 11, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

maryann m Definitely a Mafia movie! Watching Tom Welling in a different roll than Smallville or the comedies he's been in is refreshing. Action and suspenceful definitely! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/28/24 Full Review Melissa H Film Review: Mafia Wars (2024) Mafia Wars (2024) is a gritty, adrenaline-fueled crime drama starring Cam Gigandet, Tom Welling, and Al Linea. The film plunges viewers into a world of power struggles, betrayal, and revenge within the dangerous world of organized crime. Directed by an up-and-coming filmmaker, it blends action, suspense, and dramatic tension into a satisfying, albeit familiar, narrative. The story follows Jake Rosetti (Gigandet), a former enforcer for the Italian-American mafia who is reluctantly drawn back into the criminal underworld after his brother is murdered in a gangland hit. Now faced with navigating a treacherous web of alliances and betrayals, Jake must balance avenging his brother’s death with his desire to keep his family out of harm’s way. Tom Welling stars as Detective Sean Dwyer, an embattled cop determined to bring down the mafia while dealing with his own personal demons. Al Linea, in his role as Salvatore “Sal” Montego, the cold-hearted mob boss, adds an old-school mafia flair to the proceedings. Cam Gigandet delivers a compelling performance as Jake, bringing a mix of grit and vulnerability to his character. Gigandet shines in the film’s intense action sequences, while also showing the emotional weight of a man caught between two worlds. Tom Welling’s portrayal of Dwyer gives the film an added layer of moral complexity, as his character is torn between doing what’s right and bending the law to achieve justice. Welling and Gigandet share some of the movie’s strongest moments in their tense confrontations. Al Linea’s performance as Sal Montego is commanding, embodying the menacing calm of a seasoned mob leader. His scenes with Gigandet create an intriguing dynamic as the two men navigate a deadly chess game of power and survival. The movie excels in its action and character performances, and Its high production values, well-choreographed action sequences, and strong performances keep the audience engaged throughout. The film’s dark, moody cinematography also adds to the overall atmosphere, enhancing the tension and stakes in every scene. Overall, Mafia Wars (2024) may not reinvent the genre, but it delivers a gripping, entertaining story that fans of mafia films will enjoy. With strong leads and intense action, it’s a solid entry in the crime drama canon that’s worth a watch Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review Audience Member I had a lot of fun seeing Tom Welling do something totally different from his Smallville days, and deliver some memorable action. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Mandy R Came for Tom Welling. Stayed to try to figure out what the hell was going on. Still working on it. The plot was convoluted, the script was poorly written and full of cliches, and the characters felt one-dimensional. The story could have been told a lot better. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
