BRIAN VINER reviews The Alto Knights: It's a mob hit (but why do we need two De Niros?)


BRIAN VINER:With the help of facial prosthetics to distinguish between them, the veteran actor plays a pair of real-life New York Mob bosses, Frank Costello and Vito Genovese

It was not until Vito and his wife Anna (Kathrine Narducci) went to court to resolve their acrimonious differences, and she loudly named Costello as one of her husband’s associates, that the press started describing him as rather more than ‘a gambler’. Eli (Jaeden Martell) is a bullied high-school kid with a huge crush on Laura (Zegler) but only one proper friend, Danny, a charismatic, overweight New Zealander (Julian Dennison from 2016’s Hunt For The Wilderpeople). Dawn of Impressionism: Paris, 1874 begins with the sound of auctioneers closing sales of Impressionist paintings: ‘I sell to you, madam, for 97 million.’ But in the 1870s, those artists that are now household names were ignored or reviled.
