The
Alto Knights
|
It's
the outline of a mob movie, made with no apparent passion or, for that matter,

The film gives us the mood it wants to convey, set against
a compelling backdrop, and carries it through to the end.

The film is clever in its plotting, its staging, and, most
surprisingly, its willingness to engage with some ideas outside of its own
claustrophobic design.

The result is a disarmingly empathetic film,
with terrific, lived-in performances from Ferreira and Leguizamo.

it.
