abel ferrara . not a movie maker that will appeal to everyone . he best know for make driller killer a movie far good than it give credit for and his only mainstream film be body snatcher which be a rather unnecessary remake the funeral hint that it want to be mainstream because everyone love movie about gangster don ` t they . and and there be a couple of well know actor in it too . alas there an irritating aspect to the screenplay that want to make certain character leftist . why do movie seem to be under the impression that gangster have socialist ideal . the british small budget production face have this a do the classic once upon a time in america . it often be say that the mafia be the most sucessful capitalist concept and i ` m incline to believe that there other audience unfriendly concept to the movie and most of them be the fault of the director like graphic sex scene and some serious violence especially at the downbeat conclusion and but the one scene that can ` t fade from my mind be the scene where some of the male character be watch a porn movie in a brothel . young johnny turn to the woman sit beside him and they begin some serious french kissing . do i mention this woman must be about 70 year old . yuck it hardly ferrara best work and it probably recommend that potential audience member should familarise themselves with the director work before watch it four out of ten .
