    This engaged me and enraged me. These men are evil, awful people. The documentary itself is well-done for the most part. It really benefits from the trove of wiretap recordings. Without them it would have been hard to tell a convincing story. The brothers are unspeakably bad. The interviews with the father are hard to watch. Obviously these boys were raised to be criminals. The father seems proud of their juvenile criminal records and his ability to get them off without consequences because of his money and influence as a well-known contractor. The ending is the hardest part to watch, with Chris getting out of prison 7 years early and looking forward to starting a new business. He blames addicts for their addiction, thinks their deaths are funny, and advises them to take personal responsibility. It's enraging but strangely engaging. Thank heavens for my mother, who warned me at an early age to stay away from guys who look like that.
