Review: Zarra’s Law DVD

Zarra’s Law is a disjointed mess story and a film as a whole, not so much for the cinematography which looked good but feels more like a television series and as a viewer, we’re looking in at episodes 2 or 3. The acting is alright though seeing Tony Sirico as a cop was somewhat jarring after so many years as a mobster on “The Sopranos.” This might be worth a rental but nothing more.

PLOT SYNOPSIS

Retired cop Tony (TONY SIRICO) finds he is unable to forget the murder of his younger brother, who was in the mob. He’s outraged when he finds out the man he holds responsible is getting out of prison after only two years. He needs to find answers fast and if necessary, seek revenge, Italian-style. Joined by his attorney nephew, Gaetano (BRENDAN FEHR), he infiltrates the seamy world of organized crime and gets lost in a labyrinth of greed, dead ends, and lies. It’s only at the violent conclusion that he discovers the shocking truth that threatens to kill him.

SPECIAL FEATURES – 0.5/5

The only item included is the film’s trailer.

VIDEO – 3.5/5 | AUDIO – 4.0/5

Zarra’s Law is presented with a 16×9 enhanced 2.40 widescreen aspect ratio and all in all looks fine with some aliasing.

The Dolby Digital 5.1 track shows off good dialogue levels and the choice music makes the most use of the five available channels.

OVERALL – 2.5/5

Overall, Zarra’s Law is a disjointed mess story and a film as a whole, not so much for the cinematography which looked good but feels more like a television series and as a viewer, we’re looking in at episodes 2 or 3. The acting is alright though seeing Tony Sirico as a cop was somewhat jarring after so many years as a mobster on “The Sopranos.” This might be worth a rental but nothing more.
