What happens

Men of Respect is a 1990 crime drama film, an adaptation of William Shakespeare's play Macbeth. It stars John Turturro as Mike Battaglia, a Mafia hitman who climbs his way to the top by killing his boss. The film also stars Rod Steiger, Stanley Tucci, Dennis Farina and Peter Boyle and is directed by William C. Reilly. It is not the first film to transplant Macbeth to the American mob culture; this was done in the 1955 film Joe MacBeth. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
