Description

Brothers in Blood.  Partners in Crime.

 1994 – 98 minutes

The lure of power has snared two brothers (Tim Roth and Edward Furlong) into a deadly web of danger, deceit and passion too strong to resist.  Torn between the sinister yet seductive world of crime and the bonds of family loyalty, the brothers must risk their lives to make a stand in this brutal struggle for survival in the mean streets of New York.  An all-star cast explodes in this action drama in the tradition of Goodfellas.

A gripping, downbeat crime drama set in the Russian Jewish community of Brighton Beach, New York, LITTLE ODESSA is the auspicious directing debut of 25-year-old James Gray. Tim Roth, as a hitman for the Russian mafia, struggles with what remains of his conscience; Edward Furlong (T2) is his brother, a borderline delinquent. The film was shot on location in New York City, and Tom Richmond's outstanding cinematography makes apt use of the blizzards of 1993-94.
