Directed by Henry Barrial (who will direct "my" movie Driver X) this is a good sneak preview of his style. Jack is a drug dealer in New York working out of the front of a neighborhood bodega. Because he give the illusion of legit success, he is able to buy an apartment building where he puts up his extended family. But the house, not being built on firm foundation, is subject to risk.
The family unit and the New York setting of course is reminiscent of The Godfather Part II. Much actions takes places in the hallways. Best parts were the music, cinematography and the color which reminded me of Dog Day Afternoon. Good comparisons!
A big star turn by Melissa Fumero as the wife of Jack. I'll look forward to seeing her action also in Driver X.
