Plot
Two small-time criminals and longtime friends, as Deuce ( Theo Rossi) and Chucky ( Clive Standen), graduate from robbing pawn shops and jewelry stores and become involved in a plan to rob a mafia vault. They are recruited with a group of small time criminals by Gerry “The Frenchman” Ouimette (Don Johnson), the right-hand man for Providence Mafia boss Raymond Patriarca (Chazz Palminteri). Patriarca is a notorious gangster and executioner who although in jail, continues running his crime empire from inside his well-appointed jail cell. The crew pull off the biggest heist in American history: stealing over $30 million from a fur dealer's vault that the Mafia uses as its unofficial bank to store cash and stolen goods. After the heist, they turn most of it over to Ouimette to fence while they lie low and hope for the heat to dissipate. Deuce hides out in a rural motel with his girlfriend Karyn, growing increasingly anxious. One by one, members of the crew are killed. Deuce and Chucky become suspicious and turn on each other. Deuce is arrested and told Chucky was killed by the Mafia. He's told he might qualify for witness protection if he gives enough information. After confessing, he learns that Chucky is still alive.Cast

The film received mixed reviews from critics. In a review for '' The Hollywood Reporter'', Justin Lowe writes: "DeNucci has a good sense for period detail, costuming and accessorizing the cast with a color palette ranging from earthy yellow through fashionable beige to muddy brown. Stylistically though, the film doesn’t have much in common with its most distinctive progenitors, missing an opportunity to re-create an authentic '70s aesthetic." Noel Murray, writing for the '' Los Angeles Times'': "Writer-director Tom DeNucci, co-writer B. Dolan and a superb cast work hard to bring a fascinating, largely forgotten true story to life, though an inconsistent tone and an over-reliance on genre clichés keep the movie from realizing its potential."References
