What happens

Ordinary Decent Criminal is a 2000 crime comedy film, directed by Thaddeus O'Sullivan, written by Gerard Stembridge, and stars Kevin Spacey and Linda Fiorentino. The film is loosely based on the story of Martin Cahill, a famous Irish crime boss. Filmed in late 1998 and originally scheduled for a fall 1999 release, the film premiered in Ireland in December 1999. Icon shipped out the movie overseas the following year, while Miramax Films acquired North American distribution rights, but it never got a proper theatrical release in the US and was released straight to video in January 2003, almost five years after filming began.
