Mario has lived in America for many years, but now ‘the family’ needs him to return to Palermo so he can help settle some pressing business, some very pressing business. Things are much more complicated back home than Mario ever thought they would be and it’s due in large part to his younger brother Michele. Still, there are things that need to be done and, one way or another, these kinds of problems always get handled. This is just about as good as an Italian crime drama gets so fans of this style of movie who haven’t yet seen it are doing themselves a tremendous injustice! Mesmerizing from the first frames, The Sicilian Connection is nearly two full hours of overwhelmingly powerful action, violence, and brutality! A tragic morality play that is as gritty as it is passionate. Do not miss this one!
