Sinopsis(1)
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)

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.

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

I like the way De Niro doesn’t rush anywhere in the narrative and takes his time with the characters and their motivations so that he can deliver even harder blows in the nicely pumped-up ending. Though he plays the somewhat hackneyed character of an always even-keeled father, he avoids preaching as a director. You can’t avoid some decisions. A Bronx Tale takes an equally ambiguous approach to some of the less appealing aspects of American history. In one of the film’s most critical scenes, the America of the 1960s is harshly confronted with the good old America of urbane Italian mobsters. This is how respect is established and polarities of opinion are put to rest. There is nothing to spoil the pleasant impression of a job well done in terms of the film’s craftsmanship, but there is also no thrilling moment, truly strong idea or unforgettable acting performance. Despite that, A Bronx Tale is an outstanding directorial debut. 80%

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.

An immense surprise because I didn't expect much from the movie, nor had I actually heard much about it, but Robert De Niro delivers great work as both an actor and, especially, as a director. It's crowned with other excellent performances and a story that captivates you. This is a classic drama that is excellently executed and definitely worth seeing.
