The four sons (Diesel, Green, Pepper, Davoli) of major Brooklyn mobsters have to team up to retrieve a bag of cash in a small Montana town ruled by a corrupt sheriff when Marbles played by Green inadvertly loses it on its way back to New York. Specifically, the plot gets started when Matty Demaret (Pepper) goes on a job to deliver the money for his mob father (Hopper) on the advice of his uncle (Malkovich). But begins as we see Matty at the age of 12 being prompted to kill the man who put who is father away in prison for a good many years. Once the foursome arrive in town they learn that a pair of dirty cops have taken the money. Now they have to find away to retrieve the money before their fathers become involved as all havoc breaks loose.

This is a gritty gangster movie that has been delayed for nearly two years. Many people may think its Vin Diesel that fuels the movie as he is the groups most prominent member but really the movie is more Matty the character played by Pepper. Vin Diesel finds himself tattooed once again as a street tough that is brought into to try and help get the money back. One of the better scenes of the movie does involve Vin as he beats up the local bad guy. But I think one of the things this movie lacks is more scenes from Diesel as Pepper really isn’t able to carry the movie at times and the movie can become over tedious and even boring to watch. You either need to go one way or the other and since this is a bad guy movie it is hard to sypasize with the characters so they should have gone more over the top and been more a bad guy movie instead of trying to get you to care about Matty who is a tortured soul in the mafia. The movie does enthrall you at times and is a good see but it fails to live up to what it could be.
