Miami Blues by Willeford
It’s more grimey than glitzy though

There is nothing based about the movie. Tony Morano was an asshole to everyone he knew, including his wife, friends, and business partners. It's a steaming pile of degeneracy that glorifies drug abuse and trafficking, adultery, brutal violence, and materialism that is only loved, praised, and has an open cult following by niggers, rappers, and high schoolers who don't know any better.

So, Miami then.

>Violence began to become endemic in Miami. In 1980 the city had 573 murders in the year, and the next year had 621 murders. By 1981 the city morgue had an overload of dead bodies and had to rent out a refrigerated truck to keep the bodies, keeping it until 1988.

Agreed. I was one of those high schoolers. Pop culture decided that criminality was intergral to masculinity for a while there. Now it's capeshit.

The worst thing about the movie is Tony is idolized by a lot of youth. I remember classmates discussing the movie and how cool Tony was in high school, but I haven't seen the movie then until much later, which was fairly recently. I could only be shocked at the revelation that children can idolize someone so horrible with zero redeeming qualities.

McInerney's "Bright Lights Big City" comes to mind, largely because of the cocaine use, but it takes place in New York.

Ironically his downfall was due to his morality stopping him from blowing up that diplomats kid. Also, it's interesting how his legal troubles start when his brother switches from the anglo banker to that other bank. Interesting movie if you pay attention.

Good point about the bank.

Sounds like you're just mad that he didn't stop committing crimes for a second to suck off the pope like in all the Italian crime movies.

Tony did have some redeeming qualities

He would kill a communist for fun but for a green card he gonna carve him up real nice
