By the Gun

By the Gun (2014) is a Boston crime drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by James Mottern. Ben Barnes plays Nick, a young Italian-American who wants to move up fast — and starts making plays without the knowledge of his boss Sal, played by Harvey Keitel.

The problem is that going around the boss has a way of pulling everyone close to Nick into the damage radius. Leighton Meester plays the woman who gives him a reason to think about getting out; Toby Jones rounds out the inner circle. There's no glamour in how this world is framed — tight streets, tense silences, and the slow realization that ambition here gets settled in a very specific way. Stream By the Gun online on iFILM.
