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. [More]

B-

This dark, brooding family melodrama, set against the context of Brooklyn's Russian-Jewish mob, is well acted by Tim Roth, Maximillian Schell, Vanessa Redgrave, and Edward Furlong.

Desperately trying to say something complex, it only manages to look as if it said something that mattered.
