The Yards
The Yards
In the rail yards of Queens, contractors repair and rebuild the city's subway cars. These contracts are lucrative, so graft and corruption are rife. When Leo Handler gets out of prison, he finds his aunt married to Frank Olchin, one of the big contractors; he's battling with a minority-owned firm for contracts.

This was a struggle for me. While I believe the acting was superb and the story of a young man just released from prison and getting caught up in the family business was decent there is just something that didn't work for me. It was very melodramatic and overly slowed. The presentation was off, it felt as if the movie was shot in slow motion. The acting and story kept me interested so I can't say it was a waste of time. Worth a watch if you have no other movie available.
