Johnny serves a five-year stretch in prison for the theft. Although Gloria was in love with Johnny, Hayden was her brother, so she's become susceptible to gossip that Johnny was responsible for Hayden's death, and she is eager to get revenge on her former lover. Patty has also fallen in love with Gloria, and while he is not happy about betraying his old friend, he's soon ensnared in Gloria's plot to kill Johnny. Patty also has to deal with the guilt he feels about his on-again, off-again affair with Gloria's mother Liz (Rosanna Arquette), a failed lounge singer sunk deep into drugs and alcohol. Meanwhile, as he tries to clear his name with Gloria, Johnny is trying to make a career as a boxer; Lou (William Forsythe), a veteran trainer and manager, offers to help Johnny, but the young fighter isn't so sure he wants to be linked to someone with Lou's ties to organized crime. Hell's Kitchen N.Y.C. was the feature directorial debut for Tony Cinciripini, who was formerly an assistant to famed acting coach Lee Strasberg. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

    Courage can't win you reviews, but It can show acting skills.

    With the exception of a solid performance from Angelina Jolie, there is absolutely nothing to like about this movie. It's depressing, slow-moving, and really has no redeeming qualities. Too bad, because Jolie is great, but she's not enough to carry the rest of it.

    Gritty, dark, low-budget drama. A rare Angelina Jolie film. This movie is some sick, twisted sh!t, but it hit me in the heart!
