McMafia DVD
Editorial Reviews
Inspired by the insider interviews in Misha Glenny¡¯s bestselling book, writer/directors Hossein Amini (Drive) and James Watkins (The Woman in Black) have created a drama that exposes the global network of organised crime. McMafia unravels a complex web of connections that joins up money launderers in Dubai, cyber criminals in India, Russian oligarchs in London and Bedouin smugglers in the Negev desert. What starts out as a story of survival and revenge becomes a tale of one man¡¯s struggle against the lures of corruption.

It’s smart and suspenseful. You need to pay attention, because it’s the modern, international mafia in lunch meetings and cyber banking. If you’re looking for Goodfellas type stuff, you’re in the wrong place. It’s scary to think of what’s going on in this world. The acting is good so far and I’m excited to see James Norton gaining more exposure here in the U.S. Don’t let the 1 star reviews put you off, that’s just people who apparently aren’t familiar with Amazon’s season pass process. I’m not sure why Amazon leaves those up or factors them in. It hardly seems fair.

This is a great story!!! We will be looking for future video from this director (and hope to see more of the cast). This is done so well we were very entertained. Only watched one episode so far; eager to see the next! Will only say that it did not seem we were going to get to see it. Trailer 1 and 2 were indicating story was to come soon and we signed up right away. But was not there after two weeks as expected. Much worth any wait!! Loved James Norton in Grantchester (has anyone mentioned possible James (Bond) Norton? Casting was great. Settings were done well since they did not overtake the acting.
