Brooklyn Rules (2007)

.
Love, Loss, Loyalty

Three boys -- brainy Michael Turner (Paulo Aranjo), cheapskate Bobby Canzoneri (Daniel Tay) and vain Carmine Mancuso (Ty Reed) -- grew up on the tough streets of Brooklyn learning the power of the mob.

By 1985, the boys are young men still live in Brooklyn and are still best pals. Michael (Freddie Prinze, Jr.) is studying pre-law at Columbia, working for a butcher, and becoming involved with classmate Ellen (Mena Suvari). Bobby (Jerry Ferrara) is still living with his folks, has a girlfriend, Amy (Monica Kenna), and is trying for a job with the post office. Carmine (Scott Caan) is getting involved with the mob via Philly Cabrese (Chris Caldovino) who has connections with the Gambino family and local thug Caesar Manganaro (Alec Baldwin).


Can their friendship endure?

Directed by Michael Corrente.
