Set during the time of The Great Depression. Thriller/Drama : The story of 3 gangsters. You see their day to day life with their families and the struggle to keep their jobs secret. One day all 3 attempt rob a bank and confusion is caused as a woman and child attempt to see the leader of the group's face. One of the gangsters panic and shoots them both. The leader of the gang then goes over when hearing the gun shot and see's that it is his wife and child. He then flee's once he hears police sirens and tells his two hit men to run away and hide. A week later the leader calls the other gangster who didn't shoot his wife and child and he orders him to shoot the other hit man and his family for what he did. However the gangster can't do it because it is his brother who he has to kill. He then has to choose between money or his family.
Research:
In Bruges : This inspired me through the way. It's a gangster film with a twist. The characters who are in this film aren't the typical gangster type. They have families and you see that they are human and not just killers. There is also the problem with one of them shooting a child and the confusion and problems that follow from that.
Road To Perdition: This inspired me with the whole setting and time of the Great Depression and the lives of the hit men and their families around that time. It also inspired me with the theme of the relationship between father and son and the theme of violence as well.
Public Enemies: This film gave me an idea of the bank robberies that happened in America during the great depression. It made me thinking about the plots behind a gang of hit men and the risks they took every day just to get money.
