Many are confused - this movie is not a gangster flick

Rating: 9/10 (4 December 2019)

The genre of this movie is: Biography, Crime, and Drama.
This is a tale of Frankie, who happened to be involved in crime through his career.
This movie is, quoting directly from the movie; 'It is what it is' in the perspective of Frankie. His relationships, his character build-up, his success, his friendship, his choices, his troubles, his mistakes, and his life.
And anyone who has literally 'lived' past their 20s can relate to him as a person. This movie isn't trying to make a point who killed and who became the boss and whatnot. Its focus is in Frankie and how he came to be where he is at the end of the movie. And let me tell you, it is as anti-climatic as it can be. And that, is, 'it is what it is'. The movie LITERALLY shows you when the characters DIE.
This isn't a feel-good movie, this isn't a shoot-em up while crunching popcorn movie, this movie is a thought provoking movie. Especially told by the same actors who have aged along in real life, it really makes you question; what really matters in the end? Looks like Frankie haven't figured it out. And no one really does, in real life. That's the powerful message behind the power struggles as a mafia. The latter part of the movie is the highlight.
Give yourself some time to absolve the entire movie.
