A gripping tale of three life-long friends struggling with relationships, responsibility, and loyalty on the mean streets of 1980's-era Brooklyn, NY. When the violent influence of that mafia becomes a factor in their friendship, lives will be threatended as the fond memories of the past begin to give way to a potentially grim future.
BROOKLYN RULES is an outstanding coming-of-age drama set on the mean streets of Brooklyn. In 1974, Michael Turner (Paulo Araujo), Bobby Canzoneri (Daniel Tay), and Carmine Mancuso (Ty Reed) are three young friends who like to think of themselves as tough guys. After they find a dead body--and a gun--their lives are in for a change. Eleven years later, Michael (Freddie Prinze Jr.) is working at a deli and studying at Columbia; Bobby (Jerry Ferrara) is a ne'er-do-well who's nervous about proposing to his girlfriend, Amy (Monica Keena); and Carmine (Scott Caan) is starting to do small jobs for the local mob, run by Caesar Manganaro (Alec Baldwin). At school, Michael falls for one of his classmates, Ellen (Mena Suvari), a society girl who sees through his preppie persona and is attracted to his tougher side. Michael wants nothing to do with the mob, but Carmine mistakenly gets him involved with Caesar, jeopardizing his career--and his life.
