The mob paid his way, now he's paying the price!

"Paul Sorvino makes any mafia movie a good one. This is a mob movie done real well. As repayment for services rendered by his father, young New Jerseyite Frank Siena (Danny Nucci) is put through medical school in the U.S. and Italy by powerful mafia don Nicola Dellarusso (Paul Sorvino). Upon becoming a doctor, Siena returns the favor by giving body and soul to the organization, covering up murders, tending to the mob wounded without making police reports, and, in general, relinquishing his soul in the name of gratitude. Although Frank's mafia-princess wife enjoys the perks attending his privileged status, Frank ultimately suffers from pangs of conscience fueled by the pointed words of his envious friend Danny Keegan (Jonathan Scarfe). But when Frank goes to Dellarusso and respectively asks to be let off the hook, he is rather forcibly made to realize that no one retires from the mafia and lives to tell about it."

""Mafia Doctor" was a made for TV movie that played on CBS a few years back. This movie kept my interest from start to finish. I always promised myself that I'd get a copy if it ever showed up on DVD. Finally, that day has come! Four stars for "Mafia Doctor.""
