Description
Verfilmung von und mit Edward Norton und Willem Dafoe, Bruce Willis und Alec Baldwin! »Lethem ist ein König der Sätze. Sein Talent ist riesig und sein Blick so scharf wie eh und je.« New York Times Ein ermordeter Mafioso mit großem Herz und großer Klappe. Ein kleiner Gangster mit Tourette-Syndrom auf der Spur des Verbrechens. Messerscharfe Dialoge und grandioser Sprachwitz vor der Kulisse der Unterwelt Brooklyns. Das Waisenhaus St. Vincents in Brooklyn, frühe siebziger Jahre. Für Lionel Essrog, der am Tourette-Syndrom leidet, ist Frank Minna so etwas wie ein Erlöser. Der im ganzen Viertel beliebte Ganove taucht eines Tages auf und nimmt Lionel und drei weitere Jungs mit auf seine mysteriösen Streifzüge quer durch Brooklyn. Aus den vier Waisen werden so die Minna Men, die von Detektei bis Fahrdiensten alles anbieten. Ihre Tage und Nächte drehen sich um Frank, den Prinzen von Brooklyn, der mit großer Klappe durchs Leben eilt. Dann kommt die furchtbare Nacht, in der Frank niedergestochen wird und Lionel auf sich selbst gestellt ist. Auf der Suche nach Franks Mörder verstrickt er sich tiefer und tiefer in Brooklyns Unterwelt und die geheimen und unüberschaubaren Gesetze dieses Viertels, in dem niemand ist, was er zu sein scheint. »Eine geniale Mischung aus Spannung, Intelligenz und Kunstfertigkeit.« Die Zeit
