  The Alto Knights 2025

  ★★★★½ Watched 20 Mar 2025

  Barry Levinson's "The Alto Knights" is a crime film of the traditional sense, and what I mean by that is that this would've fit perfectly with the crime movies that came out in the 90's. Like Levinson's own "Bugsy" & "Sleepers" but also like "Goodfellas" & "Casino" which were written by Nicholas Pileggi who also wrote this.

It could have benefited with a longer length as it did seem to lack in some places but for the 90 minute runtime we got it still managed to tell the story it needed to tell.

  The Lighthouse ticked all the boxes i look for in the movies i really enjoy with the major one being "insane but fun". I loved the whole plot of these two lighthouse keepers…
