State of Grace
Synopsis
Terry returns to New York’s Hell’s Kitchen after a long absence, falling back in with Irish mobsters Jackie and Frankie, and their sister, Kathleen, an old flame. Jackie’s increasingly erratic behaviour threatens a new alliance with the Italian mafia. Terry, meanwhile, harbors a perilous secret.
Editorial
A New York mobster movie released (unluckily!) in the shadow of Goodfellas, Phil Joanou’s star-studded, Ennio Morricone–scored gangster epic is an unacknowledged pinnacle of the genre. Gary Oldman’s virtuosic, live-wire turn has been cited by none other than Leonardo DiCaprio as a major influence.
