The 2025 crime drama film, The Alto Knights, brings to the screen the infamous feud between Frank Costello and Vito Genovese that once made New Yorkers fear that the fight between the two mob bosses might spill into their lives as well. Shot from the perspective of Frank Costello, the leader of the Luciano crime family, the film takes us through the depths of this feud and the multiple incidents that felt like they would be the watershed moment in the rivalry. However, The Alto Knights merely tells the story of these warring crime bosses, without any cinematic or creative flair, and is not too entertaining either.

The Alto Knights begins on a usual day in 1957 in New York City, where a businessman, officially a gambler by profession, Frank Costello, walks into his apartment building and walks up the elevator after greeting the doorman a good evening.
