Film Synopsis

The protagonist Jacky is the informal leader of a small gang of odd gangsters Tony, Irish, Fadge and Gino, Jacky’s brother. They are renowned amongst the gang for their heists. The five gangsters try to make big money by robbing the Fatalità Corporation, an international diamond business that has a shipment of diamonds transferring to its local branch in New York. Fadge tells the rest of the gang about this transaction, who finds out from a drug dealer and they agree that if their plans pay off they will be “in the money”. Unaware that the diamonds are destined for their boss Big Joe, they “liberate” the diamonds. The boss learns of the diamonds disappearance and learns of the five’s involvement. He “asks” for them to be returned however, Gino has stolen them. When the rest of the posse learn of the diamonds disappearance and Gino’s betrayal they have no option but to tell the boss, against Jacky’s pleas. Joe gives them a second chance due to their loyalty and Jacky’s ability to make money but wants the equivalent amount of cash as the diamonds and promises if Gino returns the diamonds he will not be harmed but instead orders him killed by a hit man. The Hit man finds Gino and forces him to hand over the diamonds. Though he cooperates he is beaten to death with a baseball bat.  

In the meantime the four decide to redeem themselves by robbing a large bank and replacing the worth of the diamonds. Jacky learns of his brother’s death from Marvin magic hands the local weapons dealer and so begins his revenge for his brother’s death. He tracks down the assassin to a farm yard and confronts him. Simultaneously Fadge, Irish and Tony rob the bank only to mess up when Fadge kills one of the hostages. Fadge flees from the scene leaving Tony and Irish behind.  The FBI has been aware of the robbery after Jen an undercover FBI and the woman Tony has been sleeping with, leaks the information.

Tony panics due to the sheer nubmer of police officers and is shot dead, Irish runs into a car park only to be shot to death by five gangsters hired by Joe to tie up loose ends concerning the diamond robbery  after the leaks from Tony threaten to uncover Joe’s criminal network.

The confrontation between Sam and the Hit man does not go as planned.  The Hit man manages to shoot Jacky in the stomach. Jacky runs into a near by field. Wounded, Jacky collapses and the Hit man catches up  and shoots him in the head. Joe also hires the same Hit man to kill Jen even though the majority of information has already been leaked.  Joe is sentenced to life in prison and his entire crime organisation crumbles descending into an internal gang war.
