## Summary

Released by Paramount in early September, the film is inspired by the true story of Mafia gangster Gregory Scarpa, who became an FBI informant in the 1960s. Wahlberg stars alongside Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Nicole Beharie, Giancarlo Esposito, David Strathairn and Josh Lucas; director Elegance Bratton’s film has a 44% critics’ score and an 88% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
