...with the brothers, Connor (Sean Patrick Flanery) and Murphy MacManus (Norman Reedus), aided by their fresh-from-prison father (Billy Connolly), and a slick, sharp-tongued FBI agent, Paul Smecker (Willem Dafoe), killing off the head of the Yakavetta crime family in a courtroom. Though they lost their buddy Roc (David Della Rocca), a bumbling, Mafia delivery boy, in the process, they seemed well on their way to completing their mission of eliminating Boston’s “scum”: mobsters, pimps, drug dealers, in short, anyone who offends their sense of right...

Popping bubbly, dressing lavishly (yes, Jay-Z does trade in his baggy jeans and oversized jersey for a rather nice suit in this video), and hanging out with an obviously elite crowd of bad asses that includes Diddy, Nas, Larry Johnson, and Mariah Carey. That seems more than appealing. And right when you feel...
