De Niro Stars in Gangster Film 'The Alto Knights'

The trailer for 'The Alto Knights', directed by Barry Levinson, features Robert De Niro in dual roles as rival mob bosses Vito Genovese and Frank Costello. This crime drama, inspired by real events, explores the deadly rivalry between the two former friends as they vie for control of New York's streets, reshaping the Mafia and America.
