Turturro's Harry is a Bronx thief whose craft is dying in a cashless city, and one ill-chosen wallet sends him on a borough-hopping race to set things right. Noah Segan's film nods to grimy 1970s antiheroes and 1990s indies, with Steve Buscemi, Giancarlo Esposito and Tatiana Maslany in support. If you love movies where New York itself is a character, see it in Queens.
What to expect
An 88-minute late show in MoMI's theater on 35th Avenue in Astoria, with general admission seating and tickets collected at the admissions desk. Expect a local crowd ready to spot familiar corners on screen, and a quick walk back to the subway afterward.
Good to know
- Take the M or R to Steinway St, or the N or W to 36 Av.
- Seating is general admission, so arrive a bit early for a good spot.
- Pick up tickets at MoMI's admissions desk on arrival.
- The same film also screens at Lincoln Center, so compare options if one show sells out.
- Sony Pictures Classics is the distributor.
