Fans and well-wishers of New York's forgotten borough, lovingly referred to as Shaolin by its native sons, might be interested in seeing it materialized as the film Staten Island. The movie follows a mobster, a butcher, and a blue-collar worker (played by Vincent D'Onofrio, Seymour Cassel, and Ethan Hawke, respectively) as they plot, murder, and betray one another throughout the island. Nicolas Rapold from Time Out New York in a particularly brutal review says: "Give filmmaker and native son of Prince’s Bay James DeMonaco some credit; he puts all his heart into this absurd rob-the-mob yarn.
"That the plot suddenly shuffles the chronology—part of a post-Tarantino eye for flamboyant detail that’s played for comedy and pathos—makes it feel like a new, worse movie starts halfway through. Staten Island is not without surprises—nor is it any good." (Robert Horan)

I want to take his face... off.
You'll have plenty of face to remove. What's up with his hairline?
I'm still picturing Olivia Wilde and tacos...
I wouldn't mind eating her taco.
What did I expect from an Almodóvar movie? Certainly, I didn't expect people who bear more than a striking resemblance to American celebrities and politicians. The blind screenwriter, Harry Caine look an awful lot like Kelsey Grammer. And do you want to guess who the billionaire sugar daddy to Penelope Cruz's character look like. That's right. Our very own Mikey, 3rd Term, Bloomberg. I'm not sure what Pedro was high on when he cast those characters.
"naked Penelope Cruz"
i'm sorry, were there other words written after that? because that's the only review i need.
Bad Lieutenant? Bad Lieutenant? Someone had the nerve enough to name a hipster doofus, appeal to lowest level, modern juvenile writing, corporate construct movie Bad Lieutenant?...I gotta see this one.
Are you referring to the first one?
"Red Cliff"?? I am familiar with some of the actors and they do NOT sound like that. The Chinese in this movie is dubbed to insure everyone has the proper Beijing accent. Everyone ends up sounding the same. I mean in Indian movies, the actors don't sing their own songs. Now in China, the actors don't even speak their own parts. How stupid and lame is that?
