There have been more than enough movies about the mafia. There have even been movies about the Russian mob. What you don't usually see are American movies about Chinese gangs. So may we introduce to Revenge of the Green Dragons?

Directed by Andrew Lau and Andrew Loo and executive produced by the maven of mob movies, Martin Scorsese, Revenge of the Green Dragons follows two brothers from China who emigrate to New York City in pursuit of the "American Dream." For them, that means joining Chinatown gang. What follows is a tale of revenge and violence, an uncovering of the seedy world that lies just beneath that NYC neighborhood where you go to buy knock-off Rolexes. 

But as the clip above proves, the American Dream isn't as glamorous as everyone assumes. 

Revenge of the Green Dragons is out now on DirecTV and in theaters on Oct. 24. Check out the clip and then peep the full trailer below.
