'Irish Eyes' or 'Vendetta' is an action-packed crime-drama that follows two Irish-American brothers in Boston from childhood to adulthood as they rise to power on opposite sides of the law.The story begins in 1955 at a shipyard in South Boston.
I saw this as Vendetta and was very disappointed. Its not that the acting or the story was bad, its just that the direction and everything about the film on a technical level comes across as unimaginative bad TV.
In Boston, the Irish father of two boys is executed by the Italian mafia in front of the children when he was leaving home going to work. Each brother follows a path in the law seeking for revenge: Sean Phelan (Daniel Baldwin) becomes a criminal and head of the Irish mob, and Thomas Phelan (John Novak) becomes a successful prosecutor.
