Review of Holy Rollers (2010) by Jay L — 07 Jul 2011
Jesse Eisenberg plays Jesse Eisenberg in the latest chapter of The Jesse Eisenberg Chronicles. This time he ain't starting no internet revolution, and he ain't killing no vampires neither - but what he is doing is rejecting the healthy advice of his Hasidic Jews piers and getting all involved in drug smuggling.
Bad Jesse Eisenberg! This clever/chaste kid gone bad is nothing you haven't seen before, and you don't really ever feel Jesse Eisenberg faces any internal struggle during his fall toward immorality - but that might just be because Jesse Eisenberg is doing his very best Jesse Eisenberg.
To be fair, at the point many of these films are entering a predictable and drawn out final act, this one just stops. Seriously, I had no inkling this film was about to end when it did. Probably for the best though as I'd seen everything I needed to see.
Not great, but perfectly watchable.
