The Narrows

The only reason why I purchased this DVD was because of the actor Eddie Cahill. His role was small yet significant, and I believe that he actually made the movie worth watching. He played his role as a veteran very believable and did an excellent performance on screen. The other cast was pretty good too except for Kevin Zegers who was in the leading role. He did a horrible job, and was totally wrong for the part. His body language and figure were extremely irritating too. I believe the perfect actor for this role would have been Leonardo DiCaprio, but since it was a low budget movie you had to get those that weren't that expensive. So my resume would be that it was a very dry yet realistic kept movie that was pretty well done for a low budget.

i bought this on the recommedation of other's reviews and i'm glad i did. i was pleasantly surprised. this was not your typical mob movie and i want to thank those people who recommended it. i only knew a couple of actors in this movie which was the father,the main thug and nicky who was killed from the series csi ny. i only knew them by face because they always have small roles. i had kind of pulled away from watching films about the mob because they had become typical and predictable but this one was refreshing. what can i say accept i loved it.

I don't write spoilers. This is a nice, little story. It's a bit low budget. That's OK, though. It's nice to see people working w/less. Yeah, there's a couple of flaws w/the storyline, but it's an enjoyable shortish film. This kid has been studying Leo D'Caprio's face pix a bit too much :-P... D'Onfrio has got to be related to the guy who played Animal Mother in FMJ. I don't care what their stage names are. Good film @a good price. You'll probably like it, too. Caio.

This man is incredible. I have been a fan for a long time and he transforms himself into any character he chooses. I will never understand why this actor has been so under rewarded for his work. He says he doesn't want the leading role parts, but I think he is a leading man and would be wonderful as a romantic lead. He has only gotten better looking and deeper as an actor and he deserves better. This movie was well done and shows how easily one can be drawn into a frightening situation for a means to an end. The supporting cast was also very convincing without being overdone with the Italian ethnicity side of things. The language was very strong and that is not alway pleasing to the ear, but I enjoyed this movie anyway.

good movie about how a guy tries to grow up and become his own man and take care of his own bills and business. His father loves him and doesn't want him to get in with the wrong crowd. classic family dynamic movie

Got this film because I'm a huge Vincent D'Onofrio fan. The movie stays amazingly true to the book "Heart of the Old Country." All of the actors turn in solid performances and the story has a good twist. Kevin Zegers carries off his part as a young man searching for something more in life. The father-son relationship is well played. D'Onofrio once again brings a third dimension to his role. Good movie. Great Vincent.

Great movie

I have to admit, at least one star was added because I will watch anything with Vincent D'Onofrio and this movie was not disappointing. Besides his spot-on performance as the dad, The story was compelling and the acting first rate. I'm inspired to read the book, The Heart of the Old Country, on which the movie is based

Narrows  Being a big fan of Vincent D,Onofrio, I was very anxious to see this film. I had the pleasure of seeing it at the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival and found it to be a n interesting well made film. Sadly, it was not released in Canada, so as soon as I found out the DVD release date, I ordered the film.There is violence in the film but it fits, the lovely coming of age story of a son torn between his environment and his dreams works well. Vincent is perfect in his role as the Father.Good peroformance by Kevin Zeigers. Eddie Cahill,best known for CSI New York shows his acting skills. Narrows

Excellent movie, I highly recommend this.

A+
