Directed by Phil Joanou and written by Dennis McIntyre, State of Grace (1990) is a neo-noir crime film inspired by the real-life Hell's Kitchen Irish-American gang, the Westies. Sean Penn stars as Terry, returning to the neighborhood after a ten-year absence, getting involved with mad childhood friend Jackie (Gary Oldman), Jackie's gang leader-brother (Ed Harris) and sister—Terry's old flame—Kathleen (Robin Wright). Complicating matters: Terry's secret mission. Featuring a stunning score by the one and only Ennio Morricone, featured on this Twilight Time release as an isolated track.
