Set in 1970's Hell's Kitchen, Melissa McCarthy, Tiffany Haddish and Elizabeth Moss see their gangster husbands locked up. When the new bosses don't quite take care of the women up to expectations, the three basically take over the business. They provide protection to the local businesses and take over collections of money. They learn how to be gangsters. Seems like this is an adequate film on its own, with the hope that women leads makes it novel and new. For me, it remained in adequate territory, with Moss' character the most interesting as she dug into what it means to be on both the receiving end on distribution end of violence. Definitely felt like a 1970's gangster movie, so there is that.
3 stars (out of 5)
