Badly acted, poorly shot, and no story line. Not even the various cameo's could save this dire film. Whilst it does contain a few funny moments ( most notably L.Jackson's appearance), it really is not worth the time it takes to sit through. It did strike me that perhaps it was shot during the process of making another movie, as a kind of side project,but even that would not excuse the rubbish results. I'm not usually so harsh but would hate anyone to have to sit through even ten minutes of this movie. However, to back up my claims, I know that most of the people who ignore my warning's will wish they hadn't after the first ten minutes of this nonsense.

If the cast doesn't warrant giving this one a look, the laughs surely will. My theory is that the Simpson's "disco stu" was created thanks to this one. Basically some knuckleheads help a worried mother find her alcoholic son with some slick detective work. The amateur sleuths basically waste time until they all end up at the same place where they continue to diss each other. Topped off by, perhaps, one of the best fight scenes ever caught on tape outside of a deli and a supporting cast now so familiar, Steve Buschemi and Samuel L. Jackson playing leads roles, this one is a must see. A True knee-slapper that should have you laughing out loud, even if watching it alone.

First of all, if you're not from Brooklyn, don't even bother. If you are, then you will definitely wet yourself by the end of the film. It is weak in spots, though. The 'veritè' combats with the 'noir' and the result just doesn't work at times. Altogether, a gallant attempt to reveal the glory that is Brooklyn... well its street people, at least. The fact that so many big-timers showed up for cameos indicates the love Brooklynites have for the town. Go figure. I grew up with 'Junior' Sirico on Avenue 'J', and I swear, he ain't changed one bit.

I thought the movie was funny as hell, but aside from that Nicholas Turturro's performance as Junior is fantastic. His talent is wasted on NYPD Blue. And I thought John Turturro's cameo as Disco Bean was one of the most hilarious things I'd ever seen until he played Jesus in "The Big Lebowski".
