In the 1980s even right up until now if you had a movie with Italian mobsters usually from New York you could bet the bottom dollar that movie would have Dennis Farina in it.Joe Maggio's THE LAST RITES OF JOE MAY which has Farina in it is like a throwback to the days a movie like this could easily have the other American Italian actors De Niro, Pacino, Pesci appearing in it and tonight in New York at Tribeca Film Festival the movie will be playing. These days you fin Farina as a cop in Law & Order but come on guys Dennis is a hustler, not NYPD!
Small-time Chicago hustler Joe May (the incomparable Dennis Farina) always felt like a great destiny awaited him, but with his health ailing and his age advancing, he's never looked more like a bum. Broke and evicted, he's taken in by a troubled young mother and daughter, in whom he finds one last shot to be a hero. Pulsing with the spirit of classic urban dramas, The Last Rites of Joe May is a subtle, sophisticated tale of redemption.
