Movie Reviews of State of Grace
Movie Review: A Great One With A Great Story, Great Actors and Great Action!
Summary: 5 Stars
As an Irishman I love anything about the Irish, especially in NY where my family is from! This is a great movie and is based kind of on the story about the fall of the Irish mafia in New York, and is very close, as it was one of there own who brought them down in NY!
Sean Penn is great, John Turturro is always cool and very good, Ed Harris is a favorite actor of mine and he is outstanding and so darn cold as the Irish mafia leader, and finally Gary Oldman is my favorite actor in all of movies and entertainment, and he is so very cool as Jackie, the brother and enforcer to Ed Harris's character in the movie!
This is a great one and if you like mob movies, action, gunfights, a cool story and great actors, then this is for you! I recomend this one to everyone!
Summary of State of Grace
New York City's Hell's Kitchen is a pressure cooker of pent-up anger and it's about to explode! Sean Penn, Ed Harris, Gary Oldman, Robin Wright, John Turturro and John C. Reilly deliver exceptional performances (The Hollywood Reporter) in this finely drawn tale of betrayal, redemption and guilt (Los Angeles) that'll put you on the edge of your seat (Newsweek)! Terry Noonan (Penn) returns to his old neighborhood with a score to settle. He's now an undercover cop dead-set on taking down an Irish mob family headed by Frankie Flannery (Harris) and his hot-headed brother Jackie (Oldman). But when Noonan infiltrates the family, his old feelings for the Flannerys sister (Wright) further heighten the stakes as he enters a violent showdown with them during a crowded St. Patrick's Day Parade!Overshadowed by GoodFellas when it was released in 1990, State of Grace gradually emerged as one of the best New York gangster films of its decade. It was also the first to feature the Irish American mob known as the Westies. Here, their territory west of Times Square is being gentrified by an unwelcome infusion of yuppie cash, squeezing them into a reluctant alliance with Mafia kingpins. Frankie (Ed Harris) is the boss; little brother Jackie (Gary Oldman) is his volatile muscle; their friend Terry (Sean Penn) has returned from an extended absence, harboring a dangerous secret while rekindling his love for Frankie and Jackie's sister Kathleen (Robin Wright, Penn's future wife). Giving one of his scariest, most violent performances, Oldman offers stark, brutal contrast to Harris's pent-up fury, while Penn breathes life into his character's standard-issue dilemma. A former prot?g? of Steven Spielberg's, director Phil Joanou handles this gritty potboiler with confident, unobtrusive style, ramping up the tension of divided loyalties, even as the plot grows increasingly familiar. --Jeff Shannon
