Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
wghh if someone gave me a budget to make the worst movie there is, I can't do a better job, I must give the credit to the director. He should quit after directing this masterpiece. even if you tell me it's a comedy, this movie will get the same rating under any genre and here you can see the brilliance of the director to get all the audience of cinema to agree on one thing for the first time in history.The acting is high quality rubbish you can't find it in any place. the soundtrack will give the same effect even if you watch the movie in mute. they should use this movie in prison to convince criminals to tell the truth or they will get their true story told by this director.
Jo Blo The story of one of Detroit's most notorious criminals as told be the agent who investigated him. Vincent Pastore is on screen for about a minute playing a Midwesterner with a heavy Bronx accent--Hollywood short hand for how gangsters are supposed to sound regardless of the setting. "Jimmy Calone" also sounds like a stock character from New York although it takes place in Michigan. There's a half-baked subplot about a woman in love with a criminal and the usual thrown together clichés. Okay, so not many people would defend the "Street Boss" because of the crimes he was alleged to have committed. I will say this for the man. The movie made it seem like he had a problem with Jewish people. Well I'm here to tell you that I happen to be from Detroit and my Jewish cousin worked in his health club. He was treated very well. When getting a story such as this one you have to consider the source.
James Barclay Sometimes, low budget mafia movies can be a pleasant surprise, 'This Thing Of Ours' springs to mind. I started out with reasonable hopes that 'Street Boss' would be a run of the mill mafia verses FBI story. Its based on true events, when the Boston mafia were toppled by exhaustive FBI pressure. The movie starts out with a familiar face to any mafia movie fan, probably best known as 'Big Pussy' from HBO hit series 'The Sopranos'. He's in the movie for about 15 seconds and it all goes down hill from that point on. The main FBI charchter is such a wooden actor its painful to watch, the soundtrack score is awful, and the editing and direction are a shambles. The whole thing is just plain rubbish. If your looking for low budget or TV movies about the mafia, try 'This Thing Of Ours', 'Gotti', or 'Boss Of Bosses' and leave 'Sreet Boss' alone, i regret having watched this trash.
Chilla Black this is a so so gangster movie that sounds great based on the title! Actually all the story resembles a very watered down version of the untouchables, with a surprisingly hard knock FBI agent kicking a lot of backside and not taking no for an answer.From that perspective the film is quite good, however the main boss and his cartel do not really impress. It seems that it is merely three guys controlling the whole town which surely does not happen? The guy who was in NYPD blue seems to do a good job in his role though and actually the boss figure is a nasty piece of work, so it is watchable for that reason as well.Just not enough meat on the bones for this script. Hard to believe a small town is controlled by just three mafia guys with one hard nosed FBI agent determined to bring them down.
