La loi de Brooklyn

This was 90 minutes of waist. Very bad movie i really have nothing more to say of this movie. So desappointed!

Don't expect too much from this film ,but it is worth a look. I was not familiar with most of the cast with the exception of Harvey Keitel (who was onscreen for a heartbeat) but they all gave solid performances. I particularly liked the gritty look and feel of the film, there were times I felt I could smell the stale beer on the bar floor. The ending was terrible not much to say except -WHY? So if you are looking for film showcasing new faces and a bit of a twist on an old formula mob movie , give it a whirl - A solid B movie

When I see any film that is written, diected and "stars" one individual it typically is a formula for a real disaster, a bomb, a dud. As the movie comences we see actor/writer/director Danny A. Abeckaser, who plays a hood named Mikki, being released from an Israeli prison after serving an 18 year term for murder when he was a youth of 17. His deceased mother has left Mikki a letter and a little bit of money to allow him to fly to Brooklyn New York to stay with his mother's brother, his Uncle Dudu (Eli Danker).

Immediately Mikki's fearless approach to earning a living and his will to survive put the film on a fast track to success which was a pleasant surprise. Yes, the film work and camera angles lack the crispness of a Martin Scorcese produced film which I am sure is due to the limited financial backing Danny A. Abeckaser had behind him. Maybe Danny boy thought he could pull off what Sylvester Stallone was able to pull off with his three (3) time Oscar winning 1973 film Rocky. Although First We Take Brooklyn / Brooklyn Guns did not achieve any box office success, I suggest it is a decent enough crime film worthy of any crime genre film lovers' viewing pleasure. The ending may surprise you too!

A worthy 6/10 rating

So the other reviews on here are either associated with the production or were paid. Look, this a run of the mill gangster/revenge film completed sunk by a lame ending. Come to think of it, my 4/10 may be generous.

Harvey Keitel is a great actor and he has no business being in this Z-grade mob flick. I sincerely hope they gave him millions for this because I can see no other reason why he would deign to appear in it. The other actors all range from community dinner theater level to mediocre. The writing is predictable and stupid. It looks cheap all around. I'll bump it up to a two because Keitel is in it, but this movie should be skipped by everyone.
