Billy Crystal is a psychiatrist. Robert DeNiro is a mobster who has panic attacks. Together they make mental health and murder go together. And yes, the plot here is the same premise as the beloved HBO TV show, The Sopranos which also premiered in 1999. Coincidence? Who knows. The boys aren’t going to analyze that. They are going to analyze this.
