Title The Boondock Saints
This is not technically an Irish mob movie but rather an Italian and Russian mob movie with two Irishmen in it. The premis is (and there is some truth to this) that when a friendly brawl brakes out in an Irish pub it's nothing personal and everyone involved forgets about it after the fight. Unfortunately, sometimes stray outsiders get involved and don't know the customs. Set in Southie, an old Irish ghetto of Boston, the locals are shown to have a strict code as in a) you never involve the police, b) you look after your own, c) even if you're a killer you still go to Mass.
