Movie Gist     
A ruthless drug kingpin, Frank, moves ahead in full swing to regain control on his criminal empire, upon his release from the prison. The movie focuses on the paradoxical personality of Frank who mercilessly smashes his competition with one hand where as giving his share of profits into the hospital for the needy.

A dialectical masterpiece, Walken (Frank) undeniably generates his charm throughout the movie in pure style. The kinda movie that makes you feel as if the filmmakers themselves have lived the darker side of the underworld; very artfully portrayed.
