DVD Description
America, often seen as a land of opportunity, could offer no prosperity as the Roaring 1920s gave way to the Great Depression. The one field that excelled, of course, was the mafia and that is exactly where three British ship waiters turn when their boat lands in the States. Jimmy (Marc Warren) and his buddies meet up with Georgio (THE SOPRANOS' Al Sapienza), an heavy hitter in Al Capone's Windy City gang. He lures the trio in with promises to make a contender out of Jimmy, a hopeful prizefighter. The boys, however, are soon an integral part of the most notorious crime family America has ever known.
Advantages: Brilliant footage of this recent tour!! Disadvantages: None!! Except we want more!!
...In my opinion, bearing in mind I am a massive Westlife fan, this was their best tour yet. We went to see Nicky, Shane, Mark and Kian live at Cardiff so were hoping the DVD was going to live up to our memories... it certainly did that!! From the exciting beginning when the lads walked through the crowd to the beautiful ending, no part of the show was a let down. The only downside is when it ends!! The lads are on top form. Whether you are a Westlife fan or not, the lads put on a great live show and their dancing is excellent too!! This would make a great present for any fan. Lets hope there are many more tours to come!!...

...al murray is a stand up comedien playing the role of a pub landlord
This it one of my favorite comediens it is my favorite dvd of his but it may offend some people as he is very rasist as the person he is acting as (pub landlord) only likes british people and insults people in the audience if ther not british.
but i loved it it was so very funny
He plays a pub landlord who dose not stop drinking on the dvd and he convescates drinks if a women has somethink diferent than a froot based drink also he convescates drinks of men if they have a froot based drink as he always sais "froot based drink for the ladies"
this is a very enjoyable dvd...

Advantages: Ellen Barkin looks nice Disadvantages: Very average story and performances
...This is a completely unmemorable movie. Al Pacino plays a cop who falls in love with a suspected serial killer who finds victims through lonely hearts pages. Pacino plays a cliched disgruntled, alcoholic who has trouble with stable relationships. When I was watching this film, I felt as if I was just going through the motions of watching another average crime thriller of which there are many better to choose. Compared to any other Al Pacino crime thriller, say Heat, this is extremely weak and Pacino give a poor performance. Waste of the money hiring the video....
