When I use a title like that for a blog post, I really should explain myself. I dig Alec Baldwin, and only when he’s being a total asshole; Glengarry Glen Ross, The Departed and even .. 30 Rock..

‘Brooklyn Rules’ is a new goodfellas-esque gangster film starring the man himself as a mob boss, Scott Caan… and **whispers** freddie prinze Jr **, and looks like it might not be too shabby. I’m not quite sure if you’re going to be asked to sympathise with ‘the Prinze’, becuase really I’d rather see him get pistol whipped, but still…

Set in Brooklyn circa 1985 against the backdrop of John Gotti’s rise to Mafia power, “Brooklyn Rules” is a powerful story revolving around three lifelong friends whose different ambitions threaten to shake their enduring bond. Starring Alec Baldwin, Freddie Prinze Jr, Mena Suvari, Scott Caan and Jerry Ferrara, “Brooklyn Rules” comes down to the choices faced by these young men when the right path is not always the easiest to follow, and when being a loyal friend can mean making the ultimate sacrifice.
