The premise for this caught my attention as well as the amazing cast. The acting is quite remarkable specifically from our two mains of course. This does have some violence in it, but given the title of the film you expect more than is given. There are several moments that happen off-screen and are talked about throughout the film though.

"An immigrant Abel Morales and his family are trying to expand their business and capitalise on opportunities as the rampant violence, decay, and corruption of the day drag them in and threaten to destroy all they have built. A very well made mystery-drama-thriller and a fantastic period piece that creates an authentic, distinct look at 1980's New York.
