It's early 80's. New York police detective Bobby Belucci (Emile Hirsch) has anger issues. After beating up his wife's boyfriend, he's stuck working the files at a desk. One night at a bar, he befriends a thug connected to the Gambino crime family. He starts working for Roy DeMeo (Danny Abeckaser) who infamously committed an incredible number of murders using the Gemini Method.
This is a crime drama B-movie. It does have two things going for it. First, the real life crime story is very compelling. They're murderous gangsters. The second is the solid acting especially from Emile Hirsch. He's always been very good despite his declining career. I really like his complicated character. The big drawback is the B-movie filmmaking. I have not seen Danny A. Abeckaser's other directing work. I doubt that I missed much. The writing could be better, too. This is mostly a B-movie except for some of the actors.
