‘Mafia Inc.’ and ‘The Tunnel’ top this week’s streaming movies at Cleveland Cinemas and Cinematheque John Benson, cleveland.com
CLEVELAND, Ohio Just when you thought the exhausted mafia film genre had nothing new to offer, here comes the brand new “Mafia Inc.”
Set in Montreal and based on a true story, the Sicilian-mafia drama which stars veteran Italian actor-writer-director Sergio Castellitto has a 100 percent critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Beginning March 12, Cleveland Institute of Art’s Cinematheque is offering the film through its virtual screening rooms.
Also beginning on March 12, the Cinematheque is screening a different type of disaster movie. Norway’s “The Tunnel” is a high-concept film following Christmas travelers, trapped in a tunnel due to a tank truck explosion, attempting to escape a fiery hell. Naturally, a raging blizzard hinders the arrival of first responders.
