Skip it. This 2019 crime drama had a killer premise—three women taking over the Irish mob in '70s Hell's Kitchen—but squandered it with muddled storytelling and a surprisingly flat execution despite a solid cast. Even female-led crime films need tighter writing and direction to justify a watch.

Plot

The mobster husbands of three 1978 Hell's Kitchen housewives are sent to prison by the FBI. Left with little but a sharp ax to grind, the ladies take the Irish mafia's matters into their own hands — proving unexpectedly adept at everything from running the rackets to taking out the competition… literally.
