The Pope of Greenwich Village (DVD)

The Pope of Greenwich Village (1984) starring Eric Roberts, Mickey Rourke, Daryl Hannah, Geraldine Page. Charlie (Rourke) and Paulie (Roberts) are cousins, and even though Paulie is a screw-up, Charlie hangs with him. After Paulie gets him fired from his job at a restaurant, Charlie finds out that his girlfriend, Diane (Hannah) is pregnant. Then Paulie comes up with the idea for a big score; Charlie and Paulie hire a safe-cracker. Naturally, things go south from there. This movie features a cast of accomplished actors, both in the main roles and in the co-starring roles. The ending is a little vague, though. The only subtitle option is closed captions. Grade: B
