Many critics say this film gives off an anti-gay message. Ralph (played by Nicholas Turturro ) throughout the film mentions several gay remarks that are tasteless and crude. Hard to ignore, Ralph makes it clear to the audience that he has a problem with gay people. The reason for this is not because he hates gay people. The reason is because Ralph himself is gay! Take a good look at the relationship between Raplph and Nicky while you watch the film. I believe Ralph seems prejudice towards gay people to hide the fact that he is. An excellent independent film, Federal Hill was shot in Providence, Rhode Island. Good acting, great direction, and a powerful story, It is one of Nicholas Turturro's best performances.
