Deuces Wild is a 2002 American action-crime film directed by Scott Kalvert and written by Paul Kimatian and Christopher Gambale, who also created the story. It stars Stephen Dorff, Brad Renfro, James Franco, Matt Dillon, and Fairuza Balk amongst others. The film is set in 1958 Brooklyn, New York City. Martin Scorsese was the executive producer, as a favor to Paul Kimatian. As the tagline states, there is very little firearm violence; most of the fighting is hand-to-hand, in keeping with the 1958 setting. Leon and Bobby are brothers and members of the Deuces, a Brooklyn street gang. Ever... since the death of their other brother Alphonse "Allie Boy" from a drug overdose at the hands of Marco , they keep drugs off their block. This puts them in opposition to the Vipers, another local gang headed by Marco who want to sell drugs in the neighborhood. On the eve of Marco's return from a three-year stint in prison, a gang war seems imminent. Marco plans revenge against Leon, whom he believes ratted him out to the police.
