    • Trivia
      When referring to a site for a planned convention center project, Alfonso Coretti mentions "some millionaire's kid, a little s**t-for-brains." The project would become the Javitz Center, and the millionaire's kid is Donald Trump who owned the option on the rail yard site that the Center would eventually be built upon.
    • Goofs
      At the 12:34 mark when Elisabeth Moss' character leaves the diner, an address number next door shows 6920. That shows that the shot was nowhere near Hell's Kitchen. (Actually it's 3rd avenue in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.)
    • Quotes

      Kathy Brennan: Bunch of men that have forgotten what family means.

      Ruby O'Carroll: So we remind them.

    • Crazy credits
      Retro-style versions of the Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema logos are used, suiting the film's 1970s setting.

    The kitchen - Melissa McCarthy should stick to comedy roles

    Violent crime drama.

    Set in 1978, 3 wives of Irish mobsters take over after their husbands are imprisoned for armed robbery. After a weak start the movie progresses at a better pace although I couldn't help thinking Melissa McCarthy was badly cast and her rise to power was all too easy.

    The movie made me think of 'Widows', which I didn't enjoy much either. The whole movie is pro extortion, murder, and corruption in the manner of Scorsese but not really made in a way that can be compared.

    Probably not one to watch.
