Skip it. Despite a compelling premise about an aging gangster seeking redemption, the critical consensus is pretty clear—this one doesn't land. With scores hovering in the low-to-mid 50s across the board, you're better off rewatching a solid crime thriller that actually delivers.

Plot

An aging ex-boxer gangster working as muscle for a Boston crime boss receives an upsetting diagnosis. Despite a faltering memory, he attempts to rectify the sins of his past and reconnect with his estranged children. He is determined to leave a positive legacy for his grandson, but the criminal underworld isn’t done with him and won’t loosen their grip willingly.
