On his release from prison, a New York gangster takes over the
city's drug trafficking by murdering his rivals.
A
slow, average gangster movie which attempts to come off as a modern spin on Robin Hood legend. It's all rather unremarkable aside from a cold-blooded performance from Christopher
Walken.
6/10
