Norman Reedus stars as Harry Odum, a henpecked, 18-year-old momma's boy in Youngstown, Ohio, who -- with his violent temper -- impresses a local boss of the Jewish Mafia. Soon he's found his calling as a hit man alongside his crack addict partner Arnie Finklestein (Adrien Brody), and he discovers that his rage and complicated psychosis fuel his murderous abilities. Harry also falls for the organization's limping, Hungarian-born maid Iris (Elina Lowensohn), a romance complicated by Harry's Oedipal, sexual relationship with his domineering mother Kate (Deborah Harry).

Reviews

LizaYummyLiza It's one of those films you start watching and after 10 minutes you think its really interesting and innovative and dazzling and then after 11 minutes till the end you realise it's annoying. I'm sure the director's intentions were true in trying to make a slick looking piece of cinema, but the tedious batman-style camera tilts, the endless flashbacks, the fizzy editing and cheap effects leave little to chew on as its all been seen and done a lot better in any MTV video and that's the root of the problem as this film strives to attain those 'heights'! Go back to film school and learn about the greats - Ozu & Tarkovsky & Visconti - if you want to discover dazzling cinematography without resorting to gimmicks. So...Kid with violent blackouts handles himself nicely as a heavy for a mob boss, betraying his best mate in the process (a laughable Adrien Brody) whilst struggling with his Oedipul relationship with mad-mom (Debbie Harry) and his flowering romance with limping geek-maid (Elina Lowenson). What else? Don't know. Gave up after an hour. 3 out of 10 for the promise of something interesting - even though it really isn't.

waits This masterful creation is bound to have any viewer thinking about it for some time after the credits roll. Thinking especially about the complex character of Harry Odum played by Norman Reedus - that's complex in more than one sense of the word. Adam Bernstein does an amazing job of plotting out the character development of Harry Odum throughout the story. His is a character that undergoes much change throughout the film and there is never a point where the viewer can pinpoint to say that Harry Odum has displayed an excessively overt transformation. The transition from a young fledgling who is still bathed and nurtured by his mother to a cold blooded killer for the Mafia happens quite smoothly. Smoother than you would probably think possible until you see this film. Of course, credit for this is also due to the fabulous performance by Norman Reedus. As well, Deborah Harry gave a pleasant performance as his incestuous mother.As you may have guessed, any film dealing with the Mafia, incest, and a complex character with a complex is not a light natured film. In fact the mood gets quite dark at times and Adam Bernstein does a lovely job of keeping this dim air present throughout. This includes everything from the depressing industrial set town that the story takes place in, to the gloomy rooms that the scenes are shot in, to the dark lighting in many of the scenes, to the fitting music, all the way to the disparaging words and attitudes of the characters. All of which will contribute to leaving an indelible impression on the viewer.

Katy Walsh Which.. i am. I really enjoyed this movie. I mean come on people Issac Hayes and Debbie Harry, we're talking Chef and Blondie, how cool is that? It was very messed up in that "Clockwork Orange" kind of way. I'm not sure what to say about it, but... I really liked it.

veggirl This is a great film. One of the most entertaining, bizarre comedies that I have seen in a long time. I would highly recommend it to those who can appreciate out-of-the-ordinary cinema.Debbie Harry shines as the overly attentive mother while Norman Reedus does a wonderful job as her son. I just kept wondering what could possibly be next in this film
