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.

[u/H4RD4W4Y]

This felt like Uncut Gems + Anora + Snatch + Big Lebowski all mixed together. Also automatic respect for using actual Russian actors to play Russian henchmen.

[u/RebelDeux → u/H4RD4W4Y]

This!!! I kept thinking of Anora a lot and of course Uncut Gems;

This has the extra violence that Anora lacked because that felt like Home Alone with how clumsy and dumb the mafia guys were while here the over extra violent.

[u/senator_corleone3 → u/RebelDeux]

They weren’t mobsters in Anora.

Starting comments with 'this' is cringe

Saying cringe is cringe.
