Phenomenal! I remember vividly the riots in Newark. It was a rough time for many people.

I thought the movie was a lot better than I expected. I worked in Newark and Jersey City. It was so good to see the perfection in casting the characters from The Sopranos. I am a Sopranos nut. Some areas of Newark have not recovered all these years later.

When the contractor bought the concrete for the house that the Sopranos Family lived in he told me. It was a thrill to actually see the house from the outside when it was almost complete. Turns out I knew the owner through business. I don’t know if he still owns it though.

So I loved the movie and still do not like the way David Chase ended the series. I’m glad HBO upset him with their release of the movie. Karma at work.
