Plot
Cookie Voltecki is the illegitimate daughter of mobster Dino Capisco, who has just finished thirteen years in prison. Since being released from jail, all that Dino wants is to settle some old scores, and make up for lost time with his daughter.
Sinekatalog’s take
A mobster fresh out of prison tries to make amends with his daughter while chasing old scores. The comedy-crime blend is brisk and offbeat. A breezy pick for fans of quirky gangster comedies.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
