Two immigrant brothers Sonny and Steven survive the impoverished despair of New York in the 1980s by joining Chinatown gang 'The Green Dragons' when they were kids. The brothers worked their way up through the gang hierarchy and quickly rose up the ranks. But after an ill- fated love affair pits Sonny against his own brother, he sets out for revenge on the very gang who made him who he is.
Revenge boasts Martin Scorsese as an executive producer (and it really does boast - Scorsese's is the first name we see), but the cliché-ridden narrative and patchy acting prevent the film from being Chinatown's answer to Goodfellas.
The self-inflating tale of two immigrant brothers, who join a Chinatown gang as kids, falls woefully short of significance, despite being executive produced by Martin Scorsese.
The representation of Asian American men as hot-blooded toughies in the film does put a dent in the omnipresent nerdy eunuch stereotype and the model-minority myth.
