Wouldn't just say Irish gang because they bring up Nitti or Capone didn't they? They were tied to them as well at the least.

When this movie came out I was there the 1st night watching this movie. I'm a huge Paul Newman fan from when he did The Hustler so I knew he would be good in this and he was. Hanks did very good as well.

I never understood why nobody ever talked about it so much because it is a very good watch for anyone. I bought it for a few bucks at Target (and it was Blu-Ray) not too long ago.
