Ash Wednesday (2002)

In 1980s New York, Francis and Sean Sullivan are Irish brothers struggling to escape their pasts, once entangled with Italian gang warfare. Francis is a reformed tough guy who did his share of bashing heads on the streets of Hell's Kitchen. Three years prior, his younger brother, Sean, was murdered while foiling a plan to assassinate Francis, after which Francis decided to change his ways. But did Sean really die, or was it an elaborate smokescreen designed by Francis to get his brother to safety?
