The brutality and bloodshed, vividly depicted in press photos and videoC.J. Janovy interviewed O'Malley last year about confronting local omerta:footage, is all too real. O'Malley breaks his film into somewhat choppy
chapters and indulges a leisurely pace until the last third, when
brazen corruption and turf battles explode into violence and murder.
Martin Scorsese couldn't do KC better than that.
"This history's not very old. My film goes up to 1986. That's not thatlong ago. Felix Ferina and Tiger Cardarella were killed in gangland
killings in the '80s. So this has been a dangerous subject up until
now. In the 1970s, there were Star reporters risking their lives to cover that beat. Tuffy DeLuna is still alive. There's still quite a few of them alive."

Minga rhode! You fulla shit! Mosta Italianos are so-so, but yous a gotta lot a crooks more so proportionately than us peckerwoods!
Thanks for the Post, thanks for this great Post. I will come back later .. Great information : achieve success
Contrary to what O�Malley claims, this film's only success is the blatant denigration of Italian-Americans. The filmmaker chose heinous photographs (autopsy, crime scene photos, etc.) to portray the �characters� of this saga, with no regard for the families who still reside in the wonderful city of Kansas City. The Italian-Americans of Kansas City represent a rich, vibrant culture. These individuals, many children of organized crime, have gone on to achieve great things. Doctors, lawyers, and business owners make up the group that has been besmirched by O�Malley�s portrayals. There is an appropriate way to depict history, and there is also an undignified, disrespectful manner in which to portray these events. O�Malley is nothing more then a greedy opportunist who chose the later for his own personal gain. Please do not support him by going to see his film.
