Staten Island (2009)
Description:
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — You don’t have to be a native Staten Islander to understand the mind-set. Just spend a few minutes answering the phone at this newspaper and you’ll hear it in the callers’ voices, their hurt feelings.
That well-known reputation as “the forgotten borough” isn’t a badge of honor. It’s actually an insult.
Filmmaker James DeMonaco is a native, so it shouldn’t be surprising that “Staten Island,” his directorial debut, doesn’t just come with an implicit understanding of the borough’s mind-set. The movie is also kind of all about this.
To be honest, I approached this movie with the greatest of dread, expecting yet another cheapo effort starring bit players from “The Sopranos” cashing in on the Island’s reputation as a trashy place mobbed up with heavily accented Italian-Americans who don’t know how to make an honest living.
Cast:Ethan Hawke, Vincent D’Onofrio, Seymour Cassel
