The Alto Knights Trailer: Vito Genovese-Frank Costello's Feud At The Core

The makers dropped the first trailer for The Alto Knights recently. In it, we see De Niro portraying two characters, Italian-American mafia bosses Vito Genovese and Frank Costello. A certain power play happens with Genovese ordering a hit on Costello.

The latter survives the assassination attempt but decides to hang up his boots. The trailer, lasting 2:26 minutes, roughly covers the same, establishing the tense dynamics between the two. Aided by portions from the song Natural Blues by Moby, the trailer for The Alto Knights sure creates the right hype before its release. The only complaint one may have is the similar get-up of De Niro, which makes it pretty difficult for us to distinguish between his two roles. However, given that Academy Award-winning director Barry Levinson is at the helm, we can expect nothing less than a masterpiece.
