Diagonaldi Very well executed

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

tfmiltz I might not have much to say for the story line But that doesn't matterJust watch this movie You will be captivated from the first moment -I am TEMPTED to say these can't be actors it's so real :)Really- it's so well done Forget the story focus on the acting Simply TOPSI've not witnessed a cinematic production as this in a long time again NOT the story But HOW it's presented TOP OF THE LINE HERE the acting is SO good I don't even WANT to know the actors names ONLY for the characters the play Beats ALL of Gene Hackman movies in one single blow Sorry Genewell-actually - no I'm not sorry Gene

bsinc This isn't one of the movie you rent, this one you watch on TV because it's just to depressing and un(Hollywood)entertaining to be worth paying for. Plus it's nothing special. Good acting by Roth and Mrs. Redgrave and some cool sex scenes featuring the ever sexy Moira Kelly. Is it just me or is Edward Furlong the victim of his brother's doing again (American History X). And he wasn't bothering no one, he was just there to help. To average to be good, but still strong enough to touch the viewer. Which reminds me; I don't have the slightest idea what that final scene meant.It shows the scene where Tim Roth meets his ill mother for the first time in many years. It's weird because this first-time-meeting scene is shown sometime earlier in the movie and I just don't understand why Tim Roth would be thinking about the part where he just comes into the room and he and Mrs. Redgrave just look uncomfortably at each other. After his flashback is over there's this long shot of Tim Roth in the car and then fade back and the movie ends. ?????????????????????????????????????????????? What did it mean.If you have seen the movie and have any idea what this flashback means please write to me.

George Parker In "Little Odessa" (So dubbed after the Russian enclave of the same name in Brooklyn), Roth plays a hit man who returns to the neighborhood of his youth only to find that family matters are not as easily settled as contract killings. The film is an excellent debut for writer/director Gray and, IMHO, much better than his follow-up work "The Yards". "Little Odessa" may be short on story with an obvious absence of the tinselization which comes with big bucks, but it is also honest, unpretentious, and sports an excellent cast. Will play best with reality freaks into crime dramas. (B-)

bampf this film totally transcends its derivative storyline and machismo-charged genre. avoiding predictable characterisation (which some of the previous commentators seem to desire)and melodrama, the film may seem (and is at least visually) cold, but its warmth is built through nuance, not cliche. Great soundtrack too, with Arvo Part.
