Terry Noonan (Penn) returns to his old neighborhood with a score to settle. He's now an undercover cop dead-set on taking down an Irish mob family headed by Frankie Flannery (Harris) and his hot-headed brother Jackie (Oldman). But when Noonan infiltrates the family, his old feelings for the Flannerys sister (Wright) further heighten the stakes as he enters a violent showdown with them during a crowded St. Patrick's Day Parade! (official distributor synopsis)

A gritty and quality gangster film with an A-list cast lead by Sean Penn, Ed Harris and Gary Oldman. It really fascinates me how every thriller from the 90s has a packed cast, almost always with at least three actors, and nowadays we are happy to have one A-list actor, which is a shame. The story is rather predictable, we don't get too many twists and turns, but it's properly gritty, the atmosphere of Hell's Kitchen is properly grim, and the film flows nicely, so I can recommend it. 75%
