I loved this film. I know a lot of people that don't and I understand their reasonings. Spike tried to attack too many topics in one film. Could've been 4 different films if needed. I think the mob part of the film was just to have a Spike player in the film in John Turturro and Monica Belucci. So I get the criticism of it I just don't have a problem with the fact it attacked so many topics. A lot of critcs focused on that when they were giving the film negative reviews(except for Roger Ebert who loved the film)but I mean who gives a fuck how many topics it attacked? It did it well. As if you can only attack 1 topic per film and shit.
