I thought this was a pretty funny take off on Mafia type movies. Almost every scene takes a jab at gangster cliches and/or standard filming and editing techniques. It is uneven though.  Some of the actors seem to take their acting job not too seriously and seem amused over playing in this spoof.

The parody subgenre imitates, exaggerates, and satirizes the style, themes, characters, or conventions of another work, genre, or cultural phenomenon. Parodies often involve taking well-known elements from the original source and presenting them in a humorous and exaggerated manner to create a comedic effect.
