I liked what AA did in that flick and he is such a natural intimidator - DAMN THAT OPENING MONOLOGUE WAS FIRE...
but that was HBO this is a feature and Travolta's looking for some relevancy.
The trailer is okay. The music might be a bit much. It looks like it should be good though, I don't recognize a lot of the supporting cast and that might be a good thing for authenticity.
I still dunno if I'm seeing strong performances or overacting. Its hard to say with these Italians. Sometimes they are cartooned and overdramatic (Carlito's Way: Rise to Power) but sometimes they are SO natural in what they do (Casino, Goodfellas) and how it plays out on screen.
