Brooklyn Rules

Brooklyn Rules - 4.5

- Half the story, not to mention some direct quotes, are straight lifted from other famous "mafia" movies (particularly Goodfellas and The Godfather). Freddie Prinze, Jr. was an awful choice to play the lead but Scott Caan and Alec Baldwin were solid. This movie was filled with so many cliches throughout that, at times, really had me wondering whether or not I had already seen it before. However, by the time the movie ended, despite all the problems, I felt somewhat satisfied and while I certainly wouldn't reccomend watching this movie, it did have it's moments and I could probably think of worse things to do with 99 minutes.
