Adapted from George V. Higgins's novel, this is a gangster film with guns, mafia, poker and millions of dollars.

Andrew Dominik wants you to know that the underworld is our world, with the same top-dog-eats-little-dog amorality, just expressed with naked ruthlessness. “This isn’t a country, this is America. And America is a business.”
