Nice movie of a story your elder uncle may have told you, brought to the screen. Unnecessary love sub plot (not gonna tell you how it turns out cause honestly, I'm not sure myself.) Goofy side deputy, lacking the antics of Barney Fife and more of a aloof 5th grade science teacher. I'm giving it a five stars because I like uncle stories. I honestly think this movie was only made so someone with an antique car collection could have a movie they were in. I spent most of this movie thinking about how much David Arquette is aging/morphing into James Cromwell. ;)
Plot summary
Based on the true story of the notorious 1957 ‘mob summit’ in upstate New York. Spearheaded by Vito Genovese, more than 50 leaders of the organized crime syndicates from around the country converged on the sleepy town to discuss upcoming expansion plans. Their plans are foiled when local police trooper Ed Croswell discovers their activities and, consequently, exposes the mob to the American public. Croswell’s actions shed light on the massive web of corruption and changed the face of law enforcement forever.

An old uncle mob story brought to the screen.
Every wiseguy in the country
The film takes place in 1956-1957 in Apalachia, NY. It centers on state trooper Edgar Croswell (David Arquette) and his efforts that lead to the arrest of a large number of mobsters (no convictions). The film was mildly interesting as a historical crime drama but it had little action and a small bite. Robert Davi played Vito Genovese who made the bad call. Go watch "The Irishman" instead.
