The Many Saints of Newark

A SOPRANOS STORY.

After the 1967 riots in Newark, the DiMeo crime family is challenged by a Black rival. This prequel to The Sopranos (1999-2007), set decades before the TV show and focusing on the man who would be Tony Sopranoā€™s mentor, was made by people who knew the material intimately. On paper, it should satisfy fans, but the film never really digs beneath the surface of its relationships, failing to explain why uncle Dickie mattered so much to Tony. That said, itā€™s still an engaging gangster movie with a good cast; James Gandolfiniā€™s son Michael is fine as young Tony.

2021-U.S. 120 min. Color. Widescreen. Directed byĀ Alan Taylor. Screenplay: David Chase, Lawrence Konner.
