Mafia

About This Movie

Mafia (2020), directed by Felix Bristow, straddles the line between action and comedy with its quirky take on the crime genre. The film has this offbeat charm, mainly due to the comedic banter between Don Ramos and his double-crossing money launderers, Cleveland and Carlos. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, oscillating between high-octane sequences and more laid-back moments that provide some comedic relief. What stands out is the practical effects used in the action scenes, keeping it grounded despite the absurdity of the plot. Performances are solid, especially from the lead, who really brings that mob boss vibe mixed with an almost comedic desperation. It’s not your typical mafia flick; it’s a wild ride that blends tension with laughs.
