A Bronx Tale - (DeNiro;1993;USA) - ***1/2
A kid grows up with two conflicting role models, his hard working father and a street-wise gangster.
DeNiro's direction seems to be a little above average, influenced possibly by Scorsese, but the story is the gem here. The acting supports the film very well. It's more of Chazz Palminteri's great writing with a director who can handle it well, and it more then succeeds. The music, dialogue, and acting is up there. It could've been a lot better, but it still succeeds.
