Review of Yonkers Joe (2008) by Andrea S — 04 Mar 2009
Premise had a lot of promise - a guy that cheats at dice wants to make one big score in Vegas... Lacks the speed and pacing that would have made it more interesting. Needed a little of the quickness from an Ocean's 11 to make the "heist" part truly exciting.
As it is, it focuses a lot on the interpersonal relationships with the girlfriend and son... which although heartwarming is so slow it absolutely drags. Great cast and some excellent performances though.
.. pick it up on Netflix.
