their best to fit in, old habits die hard and they soon find themselves handling things the “family”
way.
The script is adapted by Besson from the book “Badfellas” by author Tonino Benacquista. Virginie Besson-Silla (“From Paris with Love”) from EuropaCorp is producing. Relativity’s Ryan Kavanaugh (“The Fighter”) is producing, while the studio’s Tucker Tooley (“Immortals”) will
