Plot
Brothers Tony and Michael Affranti (Troy Ruptash and Vincent Caruso) began in organized crime, but now Tony makes collections for gangster Vinny Catman (John Fell), while Michael -- pressured by his wife Lisa (Renee Rizzo) to go straight -- bakes bagels. Vinny and his henchman Cargo (Patrick Ferraro) cruise about the neighborhood, putting a tight squeeze on debtors, but Tony is reluctant when Vinny wants a dangerous collection. Tony's girlfriend Trish (Shoshana Ami) outlines a plan calculated to free herself, Tony, Michael, and Lisa from the mob for all time -- the brothers don disguises, interrupt Vinny's next drug deal, and make off with the cash. However, Vinny gets wise, with the eventual slow-motion shootout to the accompaniment of Schubert's "Ave Maria." Filmed in Brooklyn and Staten Island and shown at the 1998 Newport Beach Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide
