But man, the main character, I can't think of many movies where I've hated the main character more. And it makes me hate all the other characters too, because any normal person wouldn't want to be near him for more than 5 seconds, but they do because they all want something out of him. Practically everyone in this movie is a greedy piece of shit, looking out for themselves.
So while it was great in a cinematic sense, I just couldn't wait to see him finally get what's coming to him, and generally that's not something you want in a protagonist. Made it kind of annoying for me.

I think we agree on something.
the movie felt very "busy" to me. i didnt really know what the story or what the fuck was going on. just a lot of stereotypical new york type hustling plus the jew factor doesnt help the image.
a bit of the ways into the movie i kinda understood what was happening as my mind kinda got into the same rhythm as the main characters.
watching him leverage very bit of shit he has and just fucking thinking "bro this is going to go bad for him", some shit is gonna fuck up and its gonna tsunami crash down on his ass.
of course it does. the movie gives u the feeling of a bad bet. when youre sitting there fucking shaking your leg, hoping it turns around. hah.
lol yeah, i had the exact same feeling of "i wouldn't wanna hang around these guys for more than i have to". a buncha aggressive sleazy ass sharks.
That mistress though...
