Amongst Friends Reviews:
Excellent 
2009-02-16 - Amongst Friends is Rob Weiss' first film, which has had a cult following since it came out in 1993. I had it on VHS and wore it out. I was very pumped that is finaly came out on DVD. It is one of my favorite movies! Watch it for yourself.
A Independent Classic
2008-12-07 - A great film written and directed by five town native Robert Weiss who now produces and writes for "Entourage" and financed partially by the Sorvino family to debut young Mira Sorvino (her first flick); the movie takes place in early nineties Long Island, New York.
A snapshot in time; the movie opens up with a house party blaring "Brass Monkey" out of the stereo. Anyone in their thirties will love this movie and three times as much if you are from New York City or Long Island.
The best films dont just make the story and the characters the foundation of the film but also the setting and Robert Weiss was genius in portraying the early nineties living in New York.
Also one of the best and most suited soundtracks I can think of.
Easy comes, easy goes!
2008-07-16 - This original and well made gangster drama works out as a modern urban fable and it tells about the times and lives of three young teenagers seduced by the easy money with the very predictably consequences you may expect.
If "The wanderers", and then the famous French film "The hate" were if I may two of these new mature films about the led out youth, a sort of self revision and exploratory study in the line of "Rebel without cause" , this movie goes much more far, in this sense. You should not never forget the Nineties knew about three giants gangsters movies: "Goodfellas", "State of grace" and "Miller's crossing" . Nevertheless, this film might be included in a reduced list of the ten best films of this notable decade that knew about the reappearance of this genre.
Recommended without restrictions.
ONE OF THE BEST MOVIE'S I EVER SEEN
2005-06-28 - Mira Sorvino is so beautiful in this movie .this movie is worth watching.It has a nice soundtrack to. I waited patiently but finally on DVD.
Amongst Friends 
2005-02-12 - I was refered to this film by a friend, I being a mafia buff, so I went out and rented it back in the stone age when VCR was not an endangered species. The film takes a look at the key elements of most films that have a lot or very little to do with the mob. The Five Burroughs, the breeding ground of many mafia soldiers and leaders, and a group of friends, all of them with different ambitions. You have your power hungry friend, the fool who wants power but doesn't know how to go about getting it, and of course the friend who despises where he comes from and wants to leave it all behind. Throw in your mafia element offering power at a price and then watch the characters scatter. Betrayal, murder, and coming of age all wrapped up in a nice little package. If you end up liking this film check out The Funeral with Christopher Walken and Benicio Del Toro or State of Grace starring Sean Penn, Gary Oldman, and a slew of other known talents. Those films are a lot like this one, maybe even better.
