Robert De Niro’s new gangster movie The Alto Knights is garnering attention specifically for the actor’s double role as both of its protagonists. The film stars De Niro as two crime bosses, Vito Genovese and Frank Costello, very often talking to each other in the same shot. While it’s skilfully directed by Barry Levinson and the technical team behind him, it’s hard not to feel that those involved in the project have gone out of their way to cast De Niro twice, a move that comes across as a cinematic gimmick that detracts from other aspects of the movie.
