    The Alto Knights

    ★★★½

    As a lover of gangster films and Robert DeNiro it was still a worthy watch and the writing my Nicholas Pileggi made it an interesting tale to witness however the film did go through segments of unorganised confusion with elements of the tale happening without prior explanation.

    ★★

    I can see both sides of the argument. However in my opinion, Megalopolis had so much potential but didn’t deliver nearly as much as it could have.

    I felt like it was very self indulgent, focusing on what Coppola wanted to be made rather then how it would be made.

    The story in my opinion wasn’t explained enough, almost shown as if the viewer was already meant to know the film like they wrote it too.

    The names cast in…
