When he gets out of prison after serving a five year sentence, his Father, (Armand Assante) has high hopes of a fresh start for him and coming to work at Joseph Baldano & Sons Contracting, the legitimate and thriving multi-generational family business Bobby's grandfather built up from nothing. But Bobby's a mob connected street thug who gets caught back up in a life of inescapable crime. He has two families - one supportive and loving, the other dangerous and deadly. He must decide between the two families and once he does truths are revealed that Bobby always knew but was too blind to see and too afraid to face. (c) Official Site

Critic Reviews
-
Farran Smith Nehme, New York Post
"GoodFellas" is just one of the movies that did this all much better before.
-
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Packing the screen with wiseguy-story regulars - like Vincent Pastore and a limp Tony Darrow, perhaps distracted by his recent legal difficulties - is fruitless when your movie is as pathetically inept as this one.
-
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
Cathy Moriarty and other Scorsese alums pop up, but these mean streets feel too derivative to thrill.
-
Steve Erickson, Village Voice
Once Upon a Time in Brooklyn's vision of the Mafia comes filtered through a needlessly complex screenplay, as if the creators felt the need to prove they've seen a few Arnaud Desplechin films alongside Goodfellas.
-
Avi Offer, NYC Movie Guru
Solid performances can't save the film from its banal, convoluted screenplay that leaves no room for interpretation or subtlety.
