You can bet when there's a flashback with narration, and the character in the flashback does not appear in current time, the producers have dredged some old film and tried to work it into a new setting. This bomb has Bobby DeNiro looking pretty good, but he is virtually non-existent in the film. Other than the fact that he had something to do with pornography, he has no reason to exist. His brother, fresh out of jail, sets about avenging his death. There are scenes on a yacht, a wronged woman, a young hooker who visits the grave site, and a bunch of other mumbo jumbo. I was pleased to get the skinny from a previous writer which confirmed my suspicions. This holds no position in the DeNiro canon. The first three minutes of the film (the titles) have what appears to be him, in silhouette, walking down the street. The is a first rate bomb.
