Editorial Reviews

Product Description
One murder launches two very different paths to vengeance in this gripping crime thriller starring Daniel Baldwin (Mulholland Falls). Their parents came to Boston in search of the proverbial "American Dream". But after witnessing the brutal shooting death of their father, brothers Sean (Baldwin) and Thomas Phelan (John Novak) grow up dreaming of vengeance - and pursuing it on opposite sides of the law. As Thomas builds a career and gains a foothold in the U.S. Attorney's Office, Sean rises through the underworld ranks to become head of the Irish Mob. From rough, working-class streets to high-stakes backroom politics, amidst blind faith and bitter betrayal, loyalties are tested and lives are torn apart as the lines between the factions of law and organized crime begin to blur and bleed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Tale of two Irish Brothers whose destinies converge, August 28, 2005

By	M. Schreuder (provo, utah United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an above-average story of an Irish family in Boston whose connections to organize crime eventually shape it's future in ways that are unforeseen. The premise is interesting: One brother has built a career as an assistant federal prosecutor; the other has just emerged from prison after a 15-year stint and who is not reluctant to reenter the life of racketeering. It is not long before tension between the brothers builds, and the drama is pushed along by the brothers' looking to avenge their father's death years before by a mafia associate. Eventually a collision course between police, FBI, rival crime bosses, and the brothers seem inevitable.
Overall a well-acted drama that seems slightly over-ambitious in scope. Three and a half stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great low-budget little flick, February 20, 2009

By	Kevin Schmidt (Rolling Prairie, IN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really liked this movie. It's kinda the film version of "The Brotherhood" TV show. I thought the story was good and the actors were great.
