This is some bargin bin DVD I got at Walmart for about $5. Its got Mob War, The Family Enforcer(The Death Collecter)and Escape From Death Row. I only really baught it for Death Collecter, but I didnt expect the other ones to be so bad. Mob War is possibly the only movie where I've watched the clock tick down,counting the seconds until it was over.John Falcone hires this guy Todd, to make his public image better. Meanwhile John is in a war with the Don,played by Jake LaMotta. One day Todd decides to quit, but John wont let him. They have a shootout which lasts the last half hour, which turns out to be the most interesting part. The acting in this movie make Mary Corleone look like she deserves the Oscar. Todd would have to be the absolute worst.1/10 Join me tomarrow when I review Escape from Death Row.

Escape from Death Row,since you were all anxiously awaiting my review,was mildly better.It tells the story of(I guess)a big mob boss in Italy,Frankie,and the shadow known as Tony who follows him around.Frankie,for some odd reason, loses all his "privlages" in prison and is thrown in with the rest of the no good lowlife scum,Tony being one of them. For reasons undisclosed in the movie, Tony was already trying to buddy up to Frankie. Tony helps Frankie survive with the rifraf, meanwhile,a friend of Frankie's is killed and he is framed.Tony is getting out in a few days,and agrees to help Frankie escape from the outside. He does and they embark on a mission to seek revenge on the man who framed Frankie. Although the plot jumps from boring to absurd,it is mildly entertaining. Much better than Mob War. 3/10

The Death Collector was the reason I baught this collection, and I was only slightly disappointed with it. Although the plot was all over and eventually ended up tying nothing together,the acting was far superior to the other 2,and was just more realistic. Jerry is an "standup guy" who is low on money, so he turns to the local "talent agent" who gets him a job collecting.One of the debters,however,doesnt want to give up the money, so he hires a killer to get the money back. The killer misses,of course(we cant let the main character die so early in the movie :p )and this is were the story just gets stupid.I will put a SPOILER WARNING here, becuse this one might actually be worth checking out.For some reason,even after the man who has hired him is dead, the killer continues to kill, going after Jerry's friends.Jerry eventually gets the killer, but is then set up himself by an old friend,for reasons unknown. 5.5-6/10

man you got lucky i bought the same thing at best buy for six bucks, boy did i get screwed.  and I gotta say mob war and the family enforcer weren't that bad, but i couldn't even watch more than five minutes of escape from death row.
When some one needs to be whacked you call Don Leporleone, When some one needs to be paid off you call Don Leporeloene, When some one needs protection you call Don Leporeleone.... But when you buy canolis from the bakery you don't share them with Don Leporeleone, what have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully
