Peter Boyle and his small gang of hoods pull a hit for the mob, but when they are not paid decide to take over. They almost succeed until he is arrested and sent to prison for ten years. He sits in jail, reads existential philosophy and befriends the leader of a black gang, while one of his partners rises to the top by becoming a politician. After being released, he teams up with the blacks to try to take over. Filled with the usual quota of mafia violence and melodrama, but an interesting cast and vivid New York City locations make it more than watchable. Somewhat forgotten amidst the glut of post-Godfather mafia films in the 70s.
