A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I have to admit that I'm a sucker for movies about New York street life, but that doesn't mean I sit through all of them. This one I did, with pleasure. Under Hellgate Bridge has plenty of the prerequisite grit and guns and that's fine, but it's also got A STORY. Actually a very compelling story. Surprise. Some substance behind the style. It's fun to find yourself actually wondering what's going to happen to these characters instead of wondering how they did that 20 minute dolly shot.

This is an excellent film, a must see. Michael Sergio's direction is the best and the cast is topnotch! Michael Rodrick does a fantastic portrayal as Ryan, former bad boy turned hero. Jonathan LaPaglia is the perfect villain and the gorgeous Jordan Bayne was wonderful as Ryan's love interest. The rest of the cast, Dominic Chianese, Vincent Pastore, Frank Vincent, Brian Vincent, Careena Melia, and Kristen Lee Kelly rounded out the film with their great performances.

this is a very moving film that i look forward to taking my friends to in the theaters. the performances are strong, watch for jordan bayne and brian vincent. the look of the film and the direction are superb. this is a passionate and tragic film. i loved it.

The actor Brian Vincent is left out of the Biography, I don't know why: In a blistering performance, he plays a lead role along with the brilliant Jonathen Lapaglia and an emotionly raw and fantastic Michael Rodrick. I just saw the film at the Montreal Film Festival. It is an amazing ensemble piece reminesant of Scorse's "Mean Streets". It's dynamic, gains real power and leads powerfully to a thrilling conclusion. The cinematography is amazing and the directing top notch. This film moved me and the people I saw it with. I hope it can be seen by a large au
