For fans of The Departed. Two Irish-American brothers grow up to become a lawyer and a gangster. Their lives cross and tragedy ensues. One of many Irish mafia movies this one is above average but routinely directed. Like most of these films not even one scene stands out! Thought the IRA psycho bomber was the best character. Worth a look but strictly straight-to-DVD material. Thought it funny how so many actors here resembled famous Hollywood actors. One guy even looked like Clark Gable!
