American psychologist John Holden arrives in London to participate in a symposium aiming to expose witchcraft and devil-worship as a fraud, with attention centered on a cult run by a Julian Karswell. Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].
看尿了...就是一个组织搞假钞，因为管理层小弟老婆出轨，导致假钞被小弟员工误以为是预支薪水借给了（男）朋友，而（男）朋友拿钱去pc，把钱给了小姐，小姐把钱还给了男主，男主送另一个小姐的时候夹着钱的书被碰巧带走了，而这本书被还到了书店，又和店主的养老金一起回到男主手上的这样一个狗血的巧合故事...然后管理层小弟就一波被带走了...时间叙轨还有点意思
典型的黑帮题材，揭露游走在灰色地带的悲剧与宿命，人物形象模糊，叙事不分轻重，观感一般。
不算难看哎，故事挺不错的（小朋友拿错改成别的诡计可能会更好。）感觉导演想法稍微有些….平淡了，人物其实都蛮有趣的但塑造的好薄。就是吃了一碗好吃的拉面，预料之中的味道的感觉
这个适合放在《黑道家族》系列之前当做序，作为电影还是欠缺一点气势，雷利奥塔他演的那兄弟俩还不错，其它都一般般！
与瑞茜·威瑟斯彭主演的《涉足荒野》如出一辙，都是自我救赎重新面对社会的一种方式。只不过娜奥米沃茨以54岁高龄出演这样尺度的小制作是否值得？
其实不错，可惜我看的删减了，精彩部分没看到
所以最后是鸡腿了啥？什么个鸡腿法？？？怎么鸡腿？？？？🆘
黑道家族只看了一季，也是很久之前，几乎已经不记得剧情，就当没看过黑道家族看的。人物有点多，2小时明显不够说清楚。黑人平权运动有一种强行加入的意思。
6.5分。《黑道家族》当时好像就没看完，而且年代久远，如今已经想不起太多了。本作号称前传，但有关TONY的内容并不多，或者说年轻时候的TONY并不能算是主角。另外就是电影似乎又有不少对于六七十年代的缅怀戏码，这更类似美国往事的风格，同黑道家族之类更为写实的黑帮戏码风格不太搭。
，使得节奏拖沓。
我懂
两星半，剧情平淡冗长，佩服自己居然看完了。
兜兜转转把一条线串起来还算有趣，但是整体就是流水账叙事，一般般
没看过神剧，作为前传整个电影呈现得支离破碎，Tony和叔叔的关系很松散，完全看不出叔叔对他的影响在哪里，叔叔除了杀了父亲和情人也看不出做了什么值得崇拜的事，故事线不明显，东一榔头西一棒子，人物多叙事琐碎。
其实是 The Moltisantis……HBO是跟motherfucker这个梗过不去了是么？
没看过原剧，但就这部电影来说，我觉得还是不错啊。把当时当地的黑帮说得不错
電影前半段是救人，後半段是渡己。
电影化的并不成功，虽然小说复杂的线索结构还原出来了，但节奏的问题比较大，最终的戏剧效果也很一般
主剧的故事情节基本快忘光了，不过这主角年轻时和老了挺像。。。。
"That's the guy, my uncle Tony."
