  • Acceptable Targets - The film is packed with enough Irish stereotypes to leave The Departed in the dust.
  • Adaptation Displacement - Many people don't even know the film is based on a graphic novel.
  • Complete Monster - Harlen Maguire, Connor Rooney, and to a lesser extent, Frank Nitti.
  • Magnificent Bastard - Frank Nitti.
  • Pragmatic Adaptation: Max Alan Collins may like punny names like naming the feature gangsters, the Looney's, but the film producers obviously decided that no audience would take a gangster with that kind of name seriously and so renamed the family, the Rooney's.
  • Tear Jerker - Oh so much. I mean, who doesn't feel sorry for a little boy who's just lost his mom and little brother and is on the run from hitmen aiming to kill him and his father?
