Storyline

Tired of the daily grind, construction worker Charlie "Red" Redkin (Gabe Fazio, The Place Beyond the Pines) and his lifelong friends are fed up with the fight for money. When ruthless developer Gene (Ed Setrakian, The Sopranos) and his greedy son Ira (Lev Gorn, The Americans) force the construction business run by Red's father Senior (Bruce Kirkpatrick, The Wire) into debt, desperation and rage twist into a relentless need for revenge. As the pressure of a foreclosure threatens his family's home, Red and his friends are propelled into a life of crime to get cash fast. But when the deceit and corruption become too heavy a burden, "the boys" are pushed to the edge. Together, they are faced with a dilemma that will test their morals, faith, and ultimately, their loyalties to each other. In a world that refuses to let the workingman thrive, they want a better way. Their American dream was stolen, but they will steal it back.

User Reviews

I recognized a bunch of actors in this film

I recognized a bunch of people in this film. The Russian guy from the Americans is good in this. Also the lead actor that plays Red is in that Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper cop movie. He plays the bad cop friend of Cooper's character who works with Ray Liotta. I like to see actors in independent movies because they usually have a bigger role than they do in bigger Hollywood releases. I also liked the way this movie was filmed. The colors and tone were so dark and beautiful. What you saw on screen was what the characters were feeling. The environment and visuals imitated the strife and conflict of the characters. The music was also very appropriate to the mood. Very exquisite filmmaking.
