Title: Should have been more epic-like.
Review: I first saw this movie in my late teens when it was on tv. Only managed to catch the last half of it and thought it was good. Been trying to get a copy to watch the beginning for a while. For some reason I can relate to the Eric Roberts character.After finally getting the dvd recently and watching the whole movie, I realise that it could have been a much better movie. It should have been made more epic and Godfather-like. The Gypsy culture is fascinating but you only get a glimpse of it. You never really relate to it like how the Godfather made you relate to Italian gangsters and their families. Nevertheless I think it is worth a watch if only see how much Eric Roberts and Brooke Shields have changed since the late 70's.
