Much like Henry Hill before him, all young Jack (Julien Courbey) ever wanted to be was a gangster, just like the ones he used to admire in the movies. But the work he’s getting as a low-level street thug while running a back room Russian roulette game with his partner (Abel Jafri) on the side…
Attraction (Cult Epics) DVD Review
