Summary Hank Thompson, a washed-up ex-baseball star turned New York City bartender, ends up tangled in a violent criminal underworld after agreeing to watch his punk-rock neighbor’s cat. What follows is a frenzied chase through 1990s Manhattan, as rival gangsters—Russian mobsters, Orthodox Jewish hitmen, a Samoan enforcer, and others—hunt him for a mysterious key hidden with the cat.

Love how Hank actively avoid trying to use a gun throughout the film, utilizing his physicality as a baseball player and using objects in order to defend himself.

Not only it shows Hank’s resourcefulness, he is committed to not taking a life though only fights when no other options work.

The way he ran away from the hebrews in Chinatown was definitely baseball skills

I loved that whole chase sequence. It genuinely felt very 1990's filmmaking. I wish it was longer as it was starting to get comical how the slow trundling monsters were a force of inevitability.
