Terry Noonan (Penn) returns to New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood after a ten-year absence. Since he departed a decade ago, his childhood pal Jackie Flannery (Oldman) has gotten involved in an Irish crime organization (based on The Westies) run by his brother, Frankie (Harris). Terry also rekindles an old flame with Jackie’s sister, Kathleen (Wright). But in actuality, Terry is working as an undercover cop in an attempt to bust up the organization..!

State of Grace was generally well-received by critics, though it didn’t do bang-up business at the box office. Written by Dennis McIntyre and directed by Phil Joanou, it features a memorable evocative score by the great Ennio Morricone.
