Product Description
When he enlisted in the Marines, Tommy Santoro (James Marsden) thought he'd left behind his family's involvement in organised crime, and hoped he'd buried the memory of his murdered father once and for all. Then an insubordinate act and a visit from the FBI, with an offer he couldn't refuse sent him home to face the biggest moral dilemma of his life. His brother Vincent and cousin Joey have become something he vowed never to be, and now, faced with the only option to save his family, he's coming home...to become something much worse. Inspired by a true story from the FBI agent known as 'Donnie Brasco' and featuring an all-star-cast including Giovanni Ribisi, Val Kilmer and Dennis Hopper, 10th and Wolf reveals the fear and betrayal that lurks behind the decadent facade of the Goodfella lifestyle.

10th and Wolf...,
By
This review is from: 10th And Wolf [2006] [DVD] (DVD)
Director Robert Moresco who directed Crash brings to the screen this tale of friendship, family and honour, which starts with the James Marsden character Tommy sitting in a Jeep while he is serving as a marine, realising that war is futile and what's life all about.
In the process of returning to the streets of Philadelphia where he grow up and finds himself having to deal with the Mob boss who was the reason for him joining the military in the first place, and he finds that his childhood friend is running the streets and corner that they had grow up on he also finds that his younger mentally challenged brother Vincent is working as the manager of the local strip club which is owned by his best boyhood friend Joey played by Giovanni Ribisi, who has appeared in such films as Public Enemies and more recently Avatar. The DVD is presented in 2.35:1 aspect and Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound

10th & Wolf,

This review is from: 10th And Wolf [2006] [DVD] (DVD)
This is an exciting and dramatic film with excellent performances, especially from James Marsden, Giovanni Ribisi and Brad Renfro. The supporting cast are very good too and the various plot turns maintain interest, particularly in a tense situation near the end. The soundtrack is fine and the photography exceptionally good.
The only slight problem is the rather muddled programming of the disc menu. In common with many discs nowadays, the first thing to appear is a handful of trailers through which you can fast-forward, but when you get to the main menu screen you discover that the default sound setting is stereo. If you wish to select the dolby 5.1 option for surround sound, you will need to press "audio options" and select it. If you then press "resume" as you would normally do, you get taken straight back to the copyright warning and the opening trailers all over again! Once back on the film menu screen, you'll find that it's reverted to stereo - and so it goes on!!! Instead, after selecting dolby 5.1, choose "main menu" - then press "play film" and it will do what you wish. This film is a must for James Marsden fans and I would certainly recommend it to anyone who has enjoyed "The Sopranos" or similar mob dramas.

This review is from: 10th And Wolf [2006] [DVD] (DVD)
I watched this film on it's own merits, it has one of my favourite actors in Giovanni Ribisi. It's well, just plain terrbile, it's only redeeming feature is Ribisi, he carries the film on his back at times it shows.
It's a very average story told very averagely. The film dragged and dragged. If you're going to tell a story like this up the tempo, but they didn't. It was a very big waist of time, for all concerned, when the credits popped up with Hopper and Kilmer as well, I nearly laughed the combined onscreen time of both of them is probably about 4 minutes, Kilmer only has one line. Don't bother, watch it when it's on TV, but don't stress about letting this one pass you by!
