DVD Review: CHICAGO OVERCOAT

Review DVD about 13 years agoby brians

71 year old Frank Vincent (Goodfellas) takes the lead in this new mob story Chicago Overcoat. Vincent convincingly plays Lou Marazano, an aging hitman for the mob in Chicago who is trying to prove he still has what it takes and completely looks the role!

The Brian Caunter helmed mob action/drama also stars Mike Star, Stacey Keach, Kathrine Narducci and even Armand Assante shows up in this cool film. If you have been looking for a great crime boss, mafia style film then check this one out because we really don't get too many of these kind of films anymore.

Even though a mobster style film isn't really my thing once I started watching the DVD I was hooked until the end where our main character Marzano shows the kids a thing or two. Recommended for any Sopranos or Goodfellas fan out there so check this DVD out!

Synopsis:

The Chicago Outfit was the most powerful organized crime syndicate of the 20th century, and Lou Marazano (Frank Vincent) was their deadliest hit man. Twenty years after his most notorious wave of hits Lou is a relic, his legend obscured, his talents forgotten, and his glory days over. When a high-profile union representative is arrested for tax fraud, the Outfit’s top boss (Armand Assante) orders a string of key witnesses silenced before the government can uncover a vast conspiracy involving police officers, city officials, and mob affiliates. Lou sees the job as an opportunity to finance his retirement and leave Chicago with his girlfriend (Kathrine Narducci). But when relentless detectives (Danny Goldring & Stacy Keach) begin nipping at his heels, and the acting street boss (Mike Starr) decides to revoke Lou’s membership to the Outfit, Lou must prove he is worthy of being the Outfit's most deadly hit man - a title he held more than twenty years ago.
