Status: Completed / Distributed / VOD Platforms
Created by Actor/Director/Producer Kevin Interdonato The Bastard Sons tells the story of Small-town gangsters as they seek revenge on the family, after an inside job leaves their Boss killed.
Latest Review, Film Threat.
A down-and-dirty crime thriller with a bit of mystery, it holds nothing back. It’s brutal and brash, all business, and hits hard. Vincent’s family is his “brothers.” A group of battled-ready misfits all raised together with relentless loyalty and no fear. In an all too familiar plot of revenge-seeking, the uncomplicated narrative sports some good personality for a modern-day small-town gangster thriller, which follows only two rules: an eye for an eye and take what’s yours. It’s that simple.
