Brief synopsis of Brooklyn Rules
BROOKLYN RULES is an outstanding coming-of-age drama set on the mean streets of Brooklyn. In 1974, Michael Turner, Bobby Canzoneri , and Carmine Mancuso 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.
