I love the docks under the Brooklyn Bridge, the scenes of Fulton's Fish Market, the shots from Brooklyn towards Manhattan across Wallabout Bay, the street scenes in Chinatown, the open air fish markets on the wharf. I love the high rubber boots, the lobster boats, the lobster pots, the tanks where the fish are kept, the blue collar atmosphere of hard working fisherman, truckers, restaurant staff and bookkeepers. This movie depicts the New York City borough of Brooklyn of the working class people, not the artsy fartsy folks that so many Americans associate with the area.

Jane Curtin and Danny Aiello have a wonderful and believable husband/wife relationship in the midst of a very big family emergency.

This is the story of how a family pulls together (or doesn't) when their generational business is at risk. The writing, the acting, and the directing are so outstanding that you'll immediately feel like you're a part of the family.

Because you do become drawn into the family, you'll discover whether you're the sort that would rather try to fix the hole in the net that has the system biting your father or whether you tell him it's time to just cut bait, instead.

Outstanding!

The son made me angry, though! What a jerk! His father should disown him!

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Loved the suspense in the courtroom when I wondered if the girlfriend's relative was going to bid. Still have 30 minutes left to watch. Five stars!
