The Many Saints of Newark (Cert 15)

About

The long gestating Sopranos prequel is finally here, and it's been worth the wait. Scripted by series creator David Chase, it loses none of its power, panache or humour as a standalone piece. James Gandolfini's son Michael proves to be the perfect choice to play the young Tony Soprano in a story that focuses on his relationship with his mentor Dickie Moltisanti, father of Christopher. In 1970's Newark, as rival gangsters begin to rise up and challenge the all-powerful DiMeo crime family, Dickies influence on the impressionable teenager will help to turn him into the all-powerful mob boss we'll later come to know.
