Movie Review: De Niro faces off with himself in mob movie 'The Alto Knights'

Alto Knights

Robert De Niro stars opposite himself, playing both Frank Costello and Vito Genovese, in “The Alto Knights.â€Â�

Martin Scorsese’s rueful, poignant 2019 film “The Irishman,� starring longtime collaborator Robert De Niro, was a reflection on (or perhaps even a eulogy for) the kind of gangster film that the pair made famous, like Scorsese saying farewell to the genre, ruminating on what it means to tell stories about men of violence.

But if you thought De Niro was out, he’s back in for one last job (for now), reuniting with another frequent collaborator, director Barry Levinson, for the mob movie “The Alto Knights,� scripted by “Goodfellas� and “Casino� screenwriter Nicholas Pileggi.
