With his sister in trouble with the local semi-mob, a man works to pay off her debts but gets in too deep.
It's generally slow and brooding, doesn't get to the point and has an unsatisfying ending. Not recommended.
Not related to Dutch Kills, a subsection of Long Island City, New York City, New York, United States.

The story of Al Capone and his network of criminals being chased by the United States Department of the Treasury.
Overall it's an entertaining, albeit predictable, film to me. I understand it was popular at the time, but I can't imagine it's held up well at all. It puts me off because it's so very clean, yet has so much violence. There is a sort of strange "Disney violence" oil-and-water that makes no sense to me.

TODO - Crime and stuff.
After seeing Black Mass - (2015 movie) I'm reminded to put this into the growing catalogue. I'll have to come back and re-watch it to add any real notes. Though I've seen this, it isn't in my collection and I don't expect to see it again any time soon.
Being ancient and good, this movie has become the standard for a "certain type" of movie. It got there first, so it set the bar. One which arguably hasn't been reached by other movies.
Followed by The Godfather Part II - (1974 movie)

The FBI make an alliance with the mob.
I'm not a particularly big fan of this type of movie, but this one was good. I don't think it's worth watching a second time. I got bored most of the way through.
Based on Black Mass (2006?) by Dick Lehr and Gerard O'Neill
