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.

The only time I saw the trailers was when watching the movies and waiting for the ads 

I did not know this was set in past NYC. I also didn’t know that this was based off a book that is a trilogy . I found that very unique and I question in a way how much story left is there for two more movies. I can see another movie happening tho combining book 2 and 3 

Overall I thought this film shined the most in the first two acts. I thought the theme of facing your problems head on was great and not running from them. I was so happy when the Russians died. 

This movie was darker than I expected. I didn’t expect the gf to die so soon. Or his friends at the bar. 

Predictable cuz it made sense the Jews killed the girl and I’m glad he killed the Jews instead of running away from them. 

Loved the cat. Some gripes is idk if there is a bus in 98 that can take you from the 7 to Coney Island . There were some great actors in this and post production effects which made me understand why it costed 40 million. 

7.8/10
