A word by word dramatization of the longest trial in the history of the United States, namely the trial against the Lucchese family where an individual in particular leaves an important mark - Jackie DiNorscio who decides to be his own defence lawyer.
An interesting piece of history in an engaging and enjoyable movie. A semi-comedy drama that turns mobsters into nice guys who from time to time commit a bit of homicide. It doesn't really paint anti-heroes into heroes, but it does show something about things that are important in life, things that should include honor and unbounded love for one's family.
Bonus: Vin Diesel is unrecognizable and quite impressive.
