Can A Mafia Story Be Funny? Yes
THE 3 R'S: ROOF, RIVER, AND REVOLVER
This is a crime family drama with good acting, decent action, and a script that holds your interest. Matty (Barry Pepper) is the son of crime boss Benny Chains (Dennis Hopper). Benny is in business with his brother Teddy (John Malkovich). Because of Matty being part of a known crime family, he can't get honest employment. He seeks to earn the trust of his father and do important tasks.
When the opportunity arises to please his father, Matty employs his coke snorting paranoid friend Marbles (Seth Green) to make a run out to Spokane to pick up a bag...which gets lost in a small town in Montana. The gang which includes Vin "I've been in 500 fights" Diesel goes there to get it back...but who has it?
The film moves along at a good pace. Not Malkovich's most convincing tough guy, Vin Diesel makes up for it.
Parental Guide: F-bomb, no sex, no nudity.
