Ex-boss Michael Franzese rates the authenticity of mob movies.

For the record, this guy's a killer and a thief who should be behind bars, not
selling books and doing interviews, and yet I respect him for his honesty and candor, and for discouraging others from getting into 'the life'.

That being said it's hard not to trust his opinions on the mob films -- from what I could see, it looks like Joe Pesci gets an A+ for his spot-on role in Casino, and Donnie Brasco did okay. And sorry Soprano's fans, Tony wouldn't have lasted a week after seeing a shrink.

Just Watched Road to Perdition with Tom Hanks and Paul Newman...one of my favorite mob pictures...if you haven't watched it you should....don't know how true to life it is but its a good movie....

Well obviously he should know. but it is also true he probably did some bad things and should be in jail writing his memories.

A criminal. A thug. Funny how the double standard exists.

Time for some white collar criminals to get pinched.
