Honestly, I don't know what I was thinking when I sat down through this painful seriocomedy about the Famiglia in Brooklyn. It never manages to be really funny. Black humor requires balancing gross and witty, and the latter is lacking in spades. As for the admittedly cool cast, they have all known better days. For instance, Pantoliano and Tilly in "Bound". Kevin Pollak is a unique actor with a peculiar physique whose most interesting work by far is his youtube podcast the Kevin Pollak Chat Show. Joe Mantegna should have known better than producing this. It's so much better to appear in a cameo in a good movie than to star in a mediocre one, which is what he does in "Hoods". Last but not least, notice that Mantegna's father, important character in the plot, is played by no less than Seymour Cassel, but you won't find his name in the credits. He might have needed the money but sure as hell he didn't want to be remembered for his portrayal of this raving paranoid godfather. In short, this is not "The Sopranos".
