Better than expected

I love this movie. It is totally entertaining. I have been spent a quality time with this movie. This movie contains a lots of heart breaking and pathetic scene. This '' Little Ukraine'' movie is about a Jewish immigrant family as they navigate their new found lives in America. The immigrant story is relevant, because we can see this type of straggle in many other stories.

In comparison to most blockbuster action films, the cast of ' Little Ukraine ' does not feature any exceptionally well-known actors - however, I was surprised by its quality. OK if I put the simple story aside then this is a really good flick.

Entertaining

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.

Road to hell

A family escapes the Soviet Union only to find things aren't any easier for them in 1980s New York City. It's an interesting take on the immigrant crime family trope. We've seen the setup before, but Little Ukraine takes us on a path with characters who put themselves in increasingly hot water by making the choice to do the "right thing". It's a wildly pessimistic and nihilistic pov. There is also a healthy bit of skepticism that the story points toward it's main characters and their self professed virtues. In the end there are no heroes. This movie has a pleasant surprise. Good character development. Highly recommended.

Tragicomic crime family tale

Struck me as more a dark (tragic) comedy than an action film or thriller, which was a pleasant surprise. Good character development had me rooting for people who, despite best intentions, head on terrible paths striving for the American dream. Some good performances and endings caught me by surprise. I'd recommend it. My friend recommended me this film. Having no assumptions and not knowing who the entertainers were, I watched and was shocked. Ends up, it's a very much made, all-around acted story of the Russian/Ukrainian crowd in New York City. I have invested quality energy in this film. This film contains a great deal of unfortunate and pitiful scenes.

Not a B-movie, but a C-movie.

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.
