The movie centers a family of Mafia, which has been put into the witness protection program. The movie draws inspiration from the French novel Malavita. The English translation is titled Badfellas that was released in 2010. Tonino Benaquista is the author of the book. Robert De Niro has done the role of Mafia kingpin Giovanni Manzioni who was once called as Fred. Michelle Pfeiffer has done the role of his wife, Maggie.

Actor Tommy Lee Jones has done the role of FBI agent in the movie.

The family is unable to mend their ways. They stick to their usual ways. The family’s involvement in Mafia makes it easy for the other cohorts to trace him. The movie has been shot in the most unusual settings, and the family goes on a spree of vengeance. The Mafia family is now in Normandy. They are supervised under witness protection program. Robert Stansfield, the agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, maintains track of the family’s movements. Giovanni called as Fred is trying to escape the clutches of another mafia kingpin named Don Luchese. If Don Luchese finds the whereabouts of Fred, it spells trouble. The rest of the movie is about how the mafia family handles the trouble.

There is a wry smile on actor Robert De Niro’s face, and his humor does not work out in the movie. Veteran actor Robert De Niro is a multifaceted and a very talented actor. Robert De Niro has had many roles to his credit, and he even appeared as Frankenstein’s creature in a movie. It is always appealing to watch the actor’s appearance as a criminal or a drug kingpin in the movie. Hesitatingly enough, the movie tries to resemble the opening of the movie Meet the Parents that hit the screens in 2000. But, the story slowly wanes out with philosophical dialogues conveying the meaning that knowing one’s worth is like knowing one’s day of death. The movie is a good experimental effort by French director Luc Besson. But many of the actors have been wasted in the movie.

Verdict: The audiences find it difficult to stick to their seats throughout the movie. When considering the aspect of entertainment, the movie could have been much better.
