9/10
Saw this in the late 90's Amazingly Good
3 February 2013
The Jewish version of New Jack City with more realism and authenticity.

this is a contemporary movie of my time using music, style, and themes familiar to me. I loved the scenario and character development. The difference between it and other "contemporary" movies of my youth is that it was written intelligently without a preachy morality or over-reaching Deus ex Machina gimmick play in the plot. (He was the guy who shot my Mom! or, Jack Napier 'Joe Chill' is actually the Joker)

As silly as I remember the "fake ass gangsters" of 80's looking with jogging suits and gold chains it is a reminder that a man with a gun and bad intent is still damn dangerous.

This movie has depth, development, humor, sorrow, pathos, plausibility, unanswered questions and tragedy just like real life. Don't miss it.
