El gángster Sonny (Chazz Palminteri) es el rey del barrio del Bronx, donde vive el pequeño Calogero. Un tiroteo, presenciado por el niño, es el punto de partida de una duradera relación entre el gángster y el pequeño. Lorenzo Anello (De Niro), padre del chico y un honrado conductor de autobuses, desaprueba esta relación. A pesar de ello, el muchacho crece bajo la protección de los dos hombres, dividido entre su honradez natural y su fascinación por Sonny. Sin embargo, llegará un momento en el que Calogero (Lillo Brancato) no tendrá más remedio que tomar una decisión sobre el camino que debe seguir. (Universal Pictures España)

A more straightforward, simpler and brisker film than its more famous gangster relative, but I didn’t mind, quite the opposite. I was not unnecessarily distracted by a million important secondary characters and the story focusing solely on the main trio managed to hold my attention, which in gangster films tends to get lost. Anyway, I will never find love for this genre. 8/10

Robert De Niro's directorial debut is as unpolished as it might seem according to the first assumptions. It has a well-constructed plot and traditionally excellent performances underpinned by an interesting topic.

Hats off to De Niro, such a directorial debut would be the envy of many. A sober and engaging mafia film that doesn't just try to empty as many clips as possible, but beautifully guides us through an uneasy coming of age tale in an era of racial tension and mob bosses. While almost nothing extraordinary or suspenseful happens, the film is so beautifully and fluidly shot that you'll enjoy it. De Niro plays his role with as much gusto as ever, and he’s also well supported by Chazz Palminteri, who’s perfect for the role of a gangster with his cool expression. I don't think A Bronx Tale should be in the top 200, but as an insight into a complex time and culture it's perfect.

Incredible surprise because I didn't expect much from the movie, and I actually hadn't heard much about it, but Robert De Niro delivers an excellent performance as both an actor and a director, and it is crowned by other outstanding acting performances and a captivating story. This is a classic drama executed excellently, and it's definitely worth seeing.
