Billy's line after Andy uses the word "diss" is so applicable to society today...anyone remember it? Vic & Eddy are thoroughly entertaining, Jackie Tratner is awesome & the soundtrack is fantastic for early 90's tunes!!

This movie is a must see for young wannabe gangsters. It has a measure of authenticity that is absent from other films in the genre. The story takes you from the childhood through the young adulthood of three "friends", one of which is overambitious and jealous of his former cohert that just returned from prison (After doing a stint for the very guy that turns out to be his nemesis). This movie captures the essence of being young in an underground environment and having aspirations of criminal life. If you grew up in New York or Chicago, this movie is a must see and you will definitely relate. It also is a shining example of where "the life" can get you. That is to say.....absolutely nowhere!

If you were born or grew up on Long Island, New York, you just might relate in some way to the plot of this film and the great acting by all the actors who portray various backgrounds, Italian, Jewish, and the league of Nations! In many ways this film makes people think that the only way to make a living is cheating, stealing or just plain Wheeling & Dealing. Many families moved from Brooklyn, N.Y. to the suburbs of Long Island, like Merrick, Freeport, Lindenhurst, Lynbrook, and Valley Stream. This film does paint a horrible picture of evil young people following in the footsteps of gangs and mobsters! The ending of this picture was rather sad, lacking in any love or romance, just plain BORING!

Even though many critics have labeled "Amongst Friends" as just a 90's version of "Mean Streets", this is not necessarily a criticism. The acting is solid (see Mira Sorvino in an early role) and the drama level is kept high throughout the film. Basically it's a tale of Jewish Long Island kids growing up to be gangsters, and I recommend it.
