When Joe Valachi has a price put on his head by Don Vito Genovese, he must take desperate steps to protect himself while in prison. An unsuccessful attempt to slit his throat puts him over the edge to break the sacred code of silence.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie is a serious crime drama focused on a mob informant. There are no indicators whatsoever that the setting, plot, themes, iconography, or resolution relate to the Christmas holiday."
