Hoodlum Empire

"Nicky -- you think your bigger than the whole world."

Inspired by the Kefauver investigations of 1950–51 and shot in a semi-documentary style, this crime drama follows a Mafia chieftain's top gun who turns his back on the mob. When he threatens to testify against the big boss and his cruel, nationwide network of crime, it becomes a deadly play for power.
