Edward Furlong, Miora Kelly, Natasha Andreichenko, Paul Guilfoyle, Tim Roth, Vanessa Redgrave - Director: James Gray
A Russian hit man is instructed to execute an Iranian jeweler in Brighton Beach. There is one problem, however: Joshua can't show his face in the old neighborhood. His father despises him, and Volkov, the local mob boss, wants him dead. Nonetheless, Joshua clandestinely returns to Brooklyn only to discover that his mother is dying of a brain tumor, his little brother is a high school dropout, and his father is having an affair with a younger woman. Nor has Volkov forgotten his promise to do Josh in -- a killer's already been lined up. Joshua finds his only solace in the bed of a young woman he knew years ago.
When a hit-man for the Russian Jewish Mafia returns to his native Brooklyn neighborhood to do a job, he must face his family and the reasons he was forced to leave in the first place.
Winner of the Silver Lion at the 1994 Venice Film Festival.

not quite what I expected I had heard so much about this movie.. and it was good, but it was just a little disappointing. If you are a Tim Roth fan-- worth it! Submitted by Lori (St Paul MN) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
