The problem with this movie? The same problem most movies have that involve Chritopher Walken: They need more Walken! His role was great. He reprises his role as the intellegent level headed criminal, who can quickly turn psycho. Vincent Gallo reprises his role as the usual g...( read more)
Another Ferrara film that I find jawdropping that it isn't considered a classic. Moody and atmospheric with amazing performances and a great look at the true evil of organized crime. Fantastic.

A bad mafiafilm. I expected a lot more from some of the actors involved in this film.
the one that introduced me to Vincent gallo, a very good actor... not so sure id want to meet him though, hes an asshole.
There is no point or reason for this movie to exist. Too hard to follow the story. Not worth the effort.
Considering the cast, I thought this was going to be much better. Some inconsistencies with the plot, strange casting choices, and little character development. Gallo is also pretty poor at playing anyone other than himself. Its a good job his self is so entertaining to watch.
a powerful and wonderfully acted film with christopher walken and Christopher Penn at their best. Abel's best film behind king of new york
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "The Funeral" !
