Reviews

Comeuppance Reviews This is an offbeat, often funny film about a taxman who is investigating a crime when he meets a Russian family and eventually begins to care about them. There are twists but it is mostly a character driven film. Joe Pantoliano is (as usual) great as the taxman. Elizabeth Berkley does a good job as the Russian daughter. Her accent is on target. Robert "The Meteor Man" Townsend is also in it who does an okay job as a lawyer. Joe Pantoliano never gets praise when praise is due. He always puts at least a little effort and energy into all his roles. He usually steals all the movies where he is a supporting character. As evident with this film, he is definitely ready for the lead roles.For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com

raunchytalented In first place, I am a great fan of the main "star" in this film -one of my favourite cop-thrillers- Joe Pantoliano shines at wisdom gained by one long career devoted to acting in small productions, TV series and indie movies. Of course he is not a conventional "star", he is a real actor turning into real characters in screen, like this one, specially memorable through the last two scenes, although I must say all this story is paced in a brilliant directing way by Avi Nesher. Very important the last performance of sadly deceased Wade Dominguez, Robert Townsend and Elizabeth Berkley, whom I hated her before this.

Samuel Cohen I have the DVD, This film reminds of Black Rain about Japanese Mafia. The Background of Russian New York Immigrants is very Realistic. Another film by Avi Nesher I enjoyed.

Movie Mania007 If you haven't seen this one, I would run out and rent it. Pantoliano deserves an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of a New York Tax investigator. ....and not to forget the beautiful and talented Elizabeth Berkley--what an unbelievable performance! A must have to any movie collection....
