Little Ukraine

It reminds me of 1980s movies with no real plot besides "Little Ukraine ". Sure there is action but no (as in zero) character development or even passable dialog. It isn't a bad movie to throw in on the background but I wouldn't do any more than that. If you are a fan of muscular male upper bodies then this film might get another half-star for you.

It is a story of a Jewish family from Odessa who struggles to remain on the right side of the law at their bathhouse in New York City. The immigrant story is relevant, alive, and dynamic as our characters struggle to grasp their ever-evolving American Dream.

Just didn't keep me entertained especially with the horrible acting. Watch only as a last resort. Although the females in the film were pretty nice to look at.

Terrible.

Amateur night.

A movie with C-listed actors, who usually would only star in cheaply made television soaps.

No suspsense or thrill whatsover.

Just terrible.

Little Ukraine was a recommendation from a friend who loves gangster flicks. Having no expectations and not knowing who the actors were, I watched and was surprised. Turns out, it's a well made, well acted tale of the Russian/Ukrainian mob in NYC. The film could be a first in depicting mob violence perpetuated by non Italian/Sicilians How come this hasn't ben done before? Cast is made up of American and Russian actors, and there are subtitles when Russians speak to Russians, making the film more realistic and authentic.

Stumbled on this gem and decided to give it a watch. Pleasantly surprised! A film that was actually made by artists and story-tellers - for a change. A passion project for sure, give it the time it deserves and get ready for a story you've never heard that will thrill you and haunt you and the same time.
