Feminist mob movie set in the 1970s, all the men are jerks. It's about New York's Irish community and three men get sent to prison. Their wives take over the racket. Lots of killings and double-crossings but it's too fast paced with too much plot. Like they cut 30 minutes out; would have worked better as animation. People in phones boxes get shot in the head, too accurate to be realistic. People get killed and the other characters are upset though we've only seen them briefly in an earlier scene. The movie looks great and the rock and funk soundtrack is good though no disco or punk which is unusual. Best role was the older woman who took no nonsense. Refreshing hearing characters speak their minds and refusing to act nice in this PC era. Watchable and above average though it's no classic.
