Directed by Andrea Berloff
Twitter Facebook Google+Overview
The mobster husbands of three 1978 Hell’s Kitchen housewives are sent to prison by the FBI. Left with little but a sharp ax to grind, the ladies take the Irish mafia’s matters into their own hands — proving unexpectedly adept at everything from running the rackets to taking out the competition… literally.

Viewing Notes
Better than I hoped for but not as good as it could have been. One of those rare movies where it would have benefited from a longer running time to better get into the details. As it was, some things felt too rushed and unexplained. I also struggled with Melissa McCarthy in the lead role as she seemed to lack some of the emotional depth to really make the character believable. Elizabeth Moss and Tiffany Haddish were great though.
