WATCH | Mafia bosses Vito Genovese and Frank Costello go to war, Robert De Niro plays both in The Alto Knights https://gangstersinc.org/2025/01/14...llo-go-to-war-robert-de-niro-plays-both/

If I'm not mistaken, this is the first significant mob movie out in quite a few years, no?

I would say so.

"The Irishman" and, to a lesser degree, "Many saints of Newark" are the last significant Mob movies.

I'm not a fan of De Niro playing the two characters but i'll certainly give it a go.

The Alto Knights was a Genovese nightclub on Mulberry street. I wonder if that was the club of Vincent "Jimmy Alto" Altomeri,a Genovese made guy who alsa ran a club on Mulberry street.

Yes, I believe you're correct about those movies being the last out...at least from what I remember.

And yes, I'm curious to see what De Niro brings to these two roles. Definitely an acting challenge (that's probably why he took them on in the first place)

I wonder who they have to play Jerry Catina, Peter DeFoe, Tommy Greco, and Anthony Caifano, the Eboli brothers? If they have those characters then I will definitely go see it in theaters, if not I'll wait to hear what people say, then decide to go to the movies or wait for it on TV. That social club had a lot of influence for the Genovese crime family and powerplays before Greenwich Village.

De Niro would be able to play Genovese easily, I would like to know how he will play Costello.
Key points, Broadway crew, Formation of the 5 families, Luciano going to prison, Genovese flee America, Costello taking over as acting boss then Boss, Genovese coming back, the Havana meeting, 1950s senate committee, Willie Moretti, Frank Scalise, Albert Anastasia hits, attempted hit on Frank Costello, Costello and Genovese comparing notes in Prison and finally agreeing to order the hit on Tony Strollo. Luciano dying and last correspondence on breaking Coppola from Capo to soldier and making Cock-eye Capo, not to trust Gambino and Columbo, and caution around Lucchese and having Tommy Eboli acting boss.
