Movie Reviews of 10th and Wolf
Movie Review: The old neighborhood
Summary: 5 Stars
One of those rare films you catch on the previously viewed rack at Blockbuster. You take a chance on it. You're glad you did. This is one of those rare films that gets better and better every time you watch it.
Giovanni Ribisi is brilliant as Joey Marcucci, a straight up Italian low-level mobster who gives little to no regard about honoring his "zippo" blood, demanding a shot of Crown Royal over the glass of wine he's offered by his Italian counterparts. His contempt for the Sicilians in the film is a pretty hilarious sight to behold, as well as Vincent (Brad Renfro, Dueces Wild, The Jacket) and his feeble attempts at learning the Italian language from Provenzano, one of the boss' top guns. Ribisi steals every scene he's in, from his improv lines to his facial features to his weasly, contemptuous giggle.
Piper Perabo (Coyote Ungly) is equally as memorizing as Brandy, sporting a dark hair-do for this one, which makes her look like J. Lo's long lost twin. She pulls off the grieving but tough as nails single mother, trying the best she can to take care of her asthmatic kid. She develops an interest in Tommy (James Marsden, X-Men), who subsequently, wears a wire for the Feds while he and his cousin Joey conduct their dirty deeds with the Sicilian mafia led by Luciano Reggio, who continually calls Joey "Giuseppe," the Italian translation of the name.
Joey proves to be a loose cannon at times, a live-for-the-now sorta nihilist who spirals out of control and starts a pre-meditated war with Reggio. The ending is classic, everything from Brandy's revenge on Junior, Joey's pea-on, for the murder of her husband, to Joey and Tommy's ten year fight inside the walls of Reggio's mansion in the 'burbs of Philly.
My favorite mob flick is "State of Grace," starring Sean Penn and Gary Oldman, a fine piece of acting and action about the last days of the Irish mob in Hell's Kitchen. "10th and Wolf" is very similiar, reminds me a lot of "State of Grace," with Giovanni Ribisi pulling off the perfect culmination of Gary Oldman's short fuse and Sean Penn's competance and poise as an undercover mingling with his old cronies.
I love mob movies, and "10th and Wolf" is right up there with my favorites. Solid acting all the way through, great supporting characters, fun little cameos from a mobbed-out Dennis Hopper and a Geico caveman look-alike Val Kilmer. Take a chance on this one. I did, and was pleasantly surprised.
High quality H2O.
