I thought it was pretty good although I wouldn't call it a true mafia movie. I can understand why people dislike it though, considering the movie is based on a true story and it doesn't come off as particularly accurate. e.g. the couple being some sweet couple who are doing the public a service when in real life they were just some low-life junkies. Not to mention Andy Garcia's character comes across as someone Mario Puzo would have wrote up in one his novels.
