Description:
The lure of power has snared two brothers (Tim Roth and Edward Furlong) into a deadly web of danger, deceit and passion too strong to resist. Torn between the sinister yet seductive world of crime and the bonds of family loyalty, the brothers must risk their lives to make a stand in the brutal struggle for survival in the mean streets of New York. An all-star cast explodes in this action drama in the tradition of Goodfellas.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A Specific, Solid Gangster Picture
"Little Odessa," (1994), written and directed by James Gray, is a remarkably powerful and effective, award-winning crime drama set among the Russian community in present-day Brooklyn, New York. At its heart, it's a tale of a dysfunctional family that has lost its way in its new American life. And it's been given a top-drawer cast, all of whom fully inhabit their roles. Arkady Shapira, played by Maximilian Schell, is the unhappy father of this brood: in Russia, he was a respected man; in Brooklyn ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A Gangster Movie for An Intelligent Audience
This is a gripping and touching gangster movie classic that will have you totally immersed in its drama and personal issues of the heart.

The story sets in Brighton Beach, New York known as Little Odessa where the gangsters rule. Tim Roth is the fugitive hit man returning to his hometown to do another hit job and finds himself confronting issues of the heart and families, his younger brother (Edward Furlong) who adores him, his dying mother (Vanessa Redgrave), his abusive and cheating father ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Otro papel ideal para mi actor favorito
Nuevamente, Tim demuestra su especial habilidad para interpretar a un frío asesino -aparentemente- sin sentimientos, ni piedad. Para ello, apenas necesita pronunciar palabras.
Basta con mirar tus intensos ojos para ver toda tu fuerza (fuego) interior.
Eres único.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Almost too realistic, cruel and depressing. Serious stuff.
This 1994 film is set in Brighton Beach, the area of Brooklyn where Russians have settled. It's a rough and gritty neighborhood and we meet a family with multiple problems. The oldest son, Tim Roth, is a hit man for the mob who's been out of touch with his family for several years but has to come back to the neighborhood to carry out a murder. His teenage brother adores him and follows him to all the wrong places. The mother, played by Vanessa Redgrave, is dying of a brain tumor. The father, played by Maximillian ... Read More
