The “Alto Knights,” an eagerly awaited film that delves deeply into the intertwined lives of Frank Costello and Vito Genovese, showcases the incredible talent of Robert DeNiro as he takes on the challenging task of portraying both infamous mobsters. Set to be released on March 21, this cinematic piece is brought to life by the brilliant script of Nick Pileggi, a project in which I had the privilege to assist in an advisory role. The film intricately explores the complex narratives of both men, whose captivating life stories are meticulously chronicled my books Top Hoodlum and The Deadly Don. Audiences will be taken on a journey through the underworld of organized crime, examining the motivations, conflicts, and moral dilemmas faced by these historical figures. To further pique your interest, you can catch a glimpse of the film’s atmosphere and storytelling style by watching the official film trailer here.
