TV Guide writes, “Could Pride & Loyalty be a contender at the upcoming Oscars?” ABC Soaps calls Pride & Loyalty “an engaging crime thriller” and tells their readers that they “will love a copy” of it. Soap Opera Digest
calls the film's actors "daytime's finest" and pronounces the movie an “indie hit.” Pride & Loyalty is a smart, new film based on filmmaker/author/attorney Kenneth Del Vecchio's novel of the same name. The movie features an all-star cast, including:

PRIDE & LOYALTY, as described by Kenneth
Del Vecchio on his novel's cover:
Where does Jake DeMitro's loyalty lie? When the lives of
the people around him are laid on the line, this is the
question he faces.
Jake DeMitro, an Ivy League law graduate, cannot maintain
his relationship with his girlfriend Kelly Francini or concentrate
on his prestigious position with the Prosecutor's Office.
He suffers from an obsessive-compulsive personality and
fights on a regular basis with his professional nemesis,
Brian O'Leary. But that's not the cause of his struggles.
Finding himself in the middle of an investigation of his
father, Dr. Nick DeMitro, is what triggers his problems.
And his situation worsens when his sister's murder is connected
to the investigation.
Jake knows the Prosecutor's Office wants to nail his father
as a drug kingpin and he learns the mafia wants to kill
O'Leary. What will determine how he will react? Jake DeMitro,
thrust into this world of moral dilemmas, can only focus
on where his loyalties lie.
