Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

namashi_1 Adapted by screenwriter Vincent Patrick from his novel of the same name, 'The Pope of Greenwich Village' boasts Top-Notch Performances! And even as a film, it has some engrossing moments, that work on its advantage!'The Pope of Greenwich Village' Synopsis: Charlie and his troublesome cousin Paulie decide to steal $150000 in order to back a "sure thing" race horse that Paulie has inside information on. The aftermath of the robbery gets them into serious trouble with the local Mafia boss & the corrupt New York City police department.'The Pope of Greenwich Village' is grim & slow-moving, its got a mood of its own. It has a different vibe altogether. However, the film appeals in its own way, thanks to a well-written Adapted Screenplay by Vincent Patrick. The characters are Grey, but the stuff they encounter in their journey, is mostly engrossing. But, the slow-pacing acts as a deterrent. Stuart Rosenberg's Direction is straight-forward. Cinematography & Editing are fair.Performance-Wise: Mickey Rourke is fantastic. The talented actor sinks his teeth into the part & performs with flying colors. Eric Roberts is competent. Daryl Hannah is pure eye-candy. Burt Young is effortlessly menacing. Kenneth McMillan is efficient. Geraldine Page is brilliant in a cameo.On the whole, 'The Pope of Greenwich Village' has a few aces.

deemo31 I don't give tens. Just in case there is a better movie kicking around I haven't seen yet. Is The Pope a GREAT film? Probably not. But if you ever "banged around the Village for a dose of sanity" as Charlie says, you know how realistic this really is. People who live on the street...not homeless but on the street nonetheless...have a different code of ethics and loyalty that people who do, well do not. Paully and Charlie are Italian third cousins. But as Barnie the Clock guy says, that's like twin brothers in an Irish family. And this movie proves it.Roberts is a founding member of "Overactors Annonymous." But even in that context, he pulls off one of the greatest street guy performances I've ever seen. Charley is perhaps a bit more slick and intelligent, but he's still a street guy with a bit more responsibility. There is something magic to having no place to go. Banging around in the streets, shooting the breeze with Vinnie the Cheese Man and talking about Artificual Inspiration. (You gotta see it to know what I mean.) Two losers screw around with a psycho maniac. Maybe that's the plot. But trust me, it isn't the story.Great? I don't know. But a must see.

leplatypus As a fan, i am at the hands of my stars and their filmography. Here, the star is Darryl but her movie is forgettable.The fault comes from the two lead actors that irritates me with their big, loud (and empty) attitudes: Rourke and Roberts. Roberts as a fag desperates me and Rourke macho spirit makes me throw away. Fortunately, all the other but characters are rather interesting because they show all a personal trait, maybe due to the fact that the author himself wrote the screenplay.Sure, Darryl as a dancer and filming locations in the New York of 1984 are great but they aren't enough to win against the terrible duo.

delarzzon Mickey Rourke and Eric Roberts gets the chance to really shine. Two young up n coming actors who both put in a great performance. It is fantastic to see these two really get in to their parts. What we get to see is actors withe pure talent at their bests.Even Daryl Hannah is really strong. Even down to the smallest part the movie is great casted. This is a must for everyone who loves great acting! Geraldine Page was nominated for best supporting actress, other smaller parts include M. Emmet Walsh, Burt Young(Oscar nominated for Rocky), Jack Kehoe (known from The Sting and Serpico) and many many more. With New York City as a backdrop for the story, this is almost as god as it gets. A classic!
