Hail Caesar Godfather of Harlem!

Overview

Tommy Gibbs is a tough kid, raised in the ghetto, who aspires to be a kingpin criminal. As a young boy, his leg is broken by a bad cop on the take, during a pay-off gone bad. Nursing his vengeance, he rises to power in Harlem, New York. Angry at the racist society around him, both criminal and straight, he sees the acquisition of power as the solution to his rage.

    This movie is fine. The sequel is better because all the misses in storytelling and filmmaking can be excused by budget and time spent filming. This is more boring and messy....
