Based on the story of Daniel John Patrick Greene who was an Irish-American mobster and associate of the Cleveland mobster John Nardi during the 1970s gang war for the city's criminal operations. Competing gangsters set off more than 36 bombs, most attached to cars, in murder attempts, many successful. The film follows Greene's rise from Union boss, to a fully fledged gangland mobster. It's a very underrated film, in my opinion, and it had all the elements of a good gangster movie. There are some unnecessary sentimental aspects that could have been cut, but nonetheless, it's a solid film with great action, dialogue and plot. What makes it unbelievable is that most of it actually happened. I enjoyed the way that the film included some real news clips from the period, which added to the film's likeability. It's a movie I was completely unaware of until I found it on an IMDb list, so, it was a pleasant surprise to find a hidden gem like this. If you like gangster/mobster movies, you'll love this.
