The Kitchen
Three wives make their mark on the criminal underworld in 1978 Hell's Kitchen in a tough-talking crime drama written and directed by Andrea Berloff, which is based on the Vertigo comic book miniseries of the same title. Jimmy Brennan (Brian d'Arcy James), Kevin O'Carroll (James Badge Dale) and Rob Walsh (Jeremy Bobb) operate on the wrong side of the law in New York as members of the Irish mob, which is controlled behind the scenes by Kevin's mother Helen (Margo Martindale). FBI Agents Silvers (Common) and Martinez (EJ Bonilla) are in the right place at the right time and arrest Jimmy, Kevin and Rob during a convenience store robbery. The men are sentenced to three years behind bars. In the absence of their husbands, Kathy Brennan (Melissa McCarthy), Ruby O'Carroll (Tiffany Haddish) and Claire Walsh (Elisabeth Moss) struggle to make ends meet under new mob boss, Little Jackie Quinn (Myk Watford). The women spy an opening to undercut Jackie's protection racket in the neighbourhood and they hire two enforcers, Duffy (John Sharian) and Burns (Brian Tarantina). Jackie reacts violently to this brazen challenge to his authority.
