This movie desperately wants to be Pulp Fiction

Rating: Null/10 (17 October 2006)

I went into this movie not knowing anything about it, not even the broadest details of the plot. It didn't take long to figure out the entire plot, including the "twists". I really didn't like the constant "why is he called the Rabbi/why is he called the Boss", "Because he's a rabbi/ because he's the boss" schtick. This is what passes for 'hip' dialogue these days. I did not like this movie at all, it offered no surprises, and even good acting couldn't save this movie from being predictable. I didn't come to that conclusion until the end though, as I kept giving the movie the benefit of the doubt, thinking "oh that's too obvious, there has to be more to it than that". Well, there wasn't, the movie ended exactly as I had predicted it would 10 minutes into watching it. If you're good at guessing games, pass this one by. If you're terrible at figuring out puzzles, maybe your experience will be closer to the multitudes who've posted how 'wonderful' this movie supposedly is.
