Family Enforcer

Goodfella Joe Pesci appears in one of his earliest roles in this 1976 Mafia drama about Jerry Bolanti (Joseph Cortese), a young tough who returns to his New Jersey hometown and starts working as a collections agent for the local mob boss (Lou Criscuolo). Jerry winds up in more than a few tight spots thanks to his cavalier attitude, but the cocky Jersey boy hangs tough and surprises even his most lethal enemies.
