Información de esta película

Situada en la Nueva York de los años 50, «Huérfanos de Brooklyn» narra cómo Lionel Essrog (Edward Norton), un solitario detective privado que sufre del síndrome de Tourette, decide tomar cartas en el asunto e intenta resolver el asesinato de Frank Minn (Bruce Willis), su mentor y único amigo. Con solo algunas pistas y la poderosa herramienta que es su mente obsesiva, Lionel desentraña secretos que ponen en jaque el destino de toda la ciudad y que hasta ahora habían sido celosamente guardados. Intentando resolver este misterio, que lo llevará de clubs de jazz de Harlem que apestan a ginebra y los duros barrios marginales de Brooklyn a los relucientes salones de los más poderosos e influyentes de Nueva York, Lionel se enfrentará a matones, corruptos y al hombre más peligroso de toda la ciudad por su lealtad hacia su amigo y para salvar a la mujer que es, a su vez, su única posibilidad de salvación.

Valoraciones y reseñas

Loved this movie! It is beautifully crafted with phenomenal acting, great characters, interesting storyline, music, and cinematography. I wish all movies were as creative as this one with their scores. For anyone interested in the history of New York City, in community battles to save neighborhoods, and in how racism was woven into the fabric of the twentieth century, this is a must-see movie. Edward Norton clearly knows a lot about how neighborhoods are destroyed. Yes, the movie is a bit long, but it had me engaged from start to finish. I wouldn't cut anything.

These 1 star unavailable to rent posts are so ridiculously stupid in a world already filled with enough stupid. Since just paying attention to the world you inhabit is apparently not enough. Try to read and figure out WHY they are unavailable to rent. It's not like the Google Play store just invented this. *eyeroll*

Excellent NYC noir, cozy yet exciting, just like the alternating smoothness and frenzy of jazz tunes that punctuate its soundtrack. An obvious labor of love from Edward Norton.
