Motherless Brooklyn [Blu-ray] [2019]

I ordered it at Best Buy because of the fact that it had Bruce Willis in it. He played a smaller part in it than I expected but I was very happy with the movie anyway.

I thought this movie was pretty good. (Norton) has Tourette's syndrome and works for a detective (Willis) whom is killed and the movie is basically getting information as to why he was killed and what is has to do with why New York is removing living locations for the low class residents and creating parks instead. this movie has you at the edge the whole time but in my opinion it could have been a bit shorter

This my movie. I thought Edward was good, now he's great. This movie has everything. And to think Norton, also directed this movie. What a man of vision. If you haven't watched this you are truly doing yourself a disservice. This movie is intriguing and mesmerising. Don't walk, run to get yourself a copy

I was impressed by the cast and I was not disappointed. Edward Norton did an amazing job. This was his project all the way. Great film neo- noir. I have shared Motherless Brooklyn with friends and they loved it too.

If I could give a 4.5 star review I would. This film is underrated. It's a jazzy 50's detective story led by actor/director Edward Norton. The whole cast is stellar. I dock a bit because it gets a bit complicated. It takes it's time which is great but it's a tad too long. Still I did love the film and it's vibe. High marks. One to discover.

It's a shame this gorgeous looking film noir from star and director Edward Norton didn't get wider play in theaters last year or receive some Oscar love from the Academy. A loose adaptation of Jonathan Lethem's 1999 novel, the film, adapted by Norton and Lethem, begs for comparison with some of the classics of the genre, especially 1974's "Chinatown." Like that film, this one involves a real estate swindle in 1950s New York that reeks of political corruption and leaves a slew of dead bodies amid the wreckage. Norton stars as Lionel Essrog, a Tourettes-afflicted junior operative who works for a private detective (Bruce Willis in a sharp cameo) bumped off because his snooping gets a little too close to uncovering what's going on. Against the advice of his associates, Lionel picks up the investigation and soon finds himself in the crosshairs of some very powerful and very dangerous people. Alec Baldwin, Willem Dafoe, Cherry Jones, and Bobby Canavale offer solid supporting performances, but it is newcomer Gugu Mbatha-Raw who gives the film its soul as a damsel in distress whom Lionel becomes obsessed with saving. If you're a fan of hard-edged noir filmed with style and loving attention to period detail, this disc of "Motherless Brooklyn" deserves a home in your collection.

This was a movie that I watched on TV and enjoyed very much. I actually gave it to a family member for Christmas because I was so impressed with it when I watched it on TV

Neo Noir with a superb cast and solid plot. The Blu-Ray looks amazing and has excellent extras like commentary and bts. You can watch the movie on HBO Max currently.
