So the other reviews on here are either associated with the production or were paid. Look, this a run of the mill gangster/revenge film completed sunk by a lame ending. Come to think of it, my 4/10 may be generous.

It's like watching Scarface but this movie really let me down..

Same Scarface lines, main character gets the blonde from his enemy.. get rich too fast off cocaine.. it's like they had Scarface playing while filming this and changed a few things around.. waste of time

This movie is terrible and this Danny A Bozo should stick to something else - my 6 year old can act better - just terrible - 2 hours of my life I'll never get back

Harvey Keitel is a great actor and he has no business being in this Z-grade mob flick. I sincerely hope they gave him millions for this because I can see no other reason why he would deign to appear in it. The other actors all range from community dinner theater level to mediocre. The writing is predictable and stupid. It looks cheap all around. I'll bump it up to a two because Keitel is in it, but this movie should be skipped by everyone.

This was 90 minutes of waist. Very bad movie i really have nothing more to say of this movie. So desappointed!

When I see any film that is written, diected and "stars" one individual it typically is a formula for a real disaster, a bomb, a dud. As the movie comences we see actor/writer/director Danny A. Abeckaser, who plays a hood named Mikki, being released from an Israeli prison after serving an 18 year term for murder when he was a youth of 17. His deceased mother has left Mikki a letter and a little bit of money to allow him to fly to Brooklyn New York to stay with his mother's brother, his Uncle Dudu (Eli Danker).

Immediately Mikki's fearless approach to earning a living and his will to survive put the film on a fast track to success which was a pleasant surprise. Yes, the film work and camera angles lack the crispness of a Martin Scorcese produced film which I am sure is due to the limited financial backing Danny A. Abeckaser had behind him. Maybe Danny boy thought he could pull off what Sylvester Stallone was able to pull off with his three (3) time Oscar winning 1973 film Rocky. Although First We Take Brooklyn / Brooklyn Guns did not achieve any box office success, I suggest it is a decent enough crime film worthy of any crime genre film lovers' viewing pleasure. The ending may surprise you too!

A worthy 6/10 rating

Terrible movie all around: horrible acting, cheesy writing, bad cinematography, predictable and obvious plot. Just because it's about some low-life criminals, drugs and money does not make it interesting! But throw in a blonde bimbo or two and I'm sure it'll entertain most of you morons. I had to look up the actress's name she was so terrible, AnnaLynne McCord, Utterly McCrap. You must be really stoned to enjoy this garbage!

I'm shocked at the low score for this film. I had low expectations going into this, but I was pleasantly impressed by this indie low budget B-grade film.

This film stars and was also produced by Danny A. Abeckaser, who made his directorial debut, and his second writing credit, shared with co-star Jon Carlo. Harvey Keitel played the perfect Russian mobster, and it was nice to see some eye candy that can act, Charlotte McKinney and primarily co-star beauty AnnaLynne McCord.

If anyone is expecting to see a huge big budget Hollywood produced gangster film, this is not it. But it achieves its goal in keeping the viewer submersed and entertained. The pace was perfect, the directing and screenplay on point, and the actors, although not all seasoned A-listers (except for Harvey Keitel of course), performed quite well and convincing in their roles.

It's a shame reviewers will slam this film by comparing it to Hollywood gangster films and expecting so much more from such a small indie production. I for one am impressed and give this a well deserved 7.5/10 rounded up to a 8.

Don't expect too much from this film ,but it is worth a look. I was not familiar with most of the cast with the exception of Harvey Keitel (who was onscreen for a heartbeat) but they all gave solid performances. I particularly liked the gritty look and feel of the film, there were times I felt I could smell the stale beer on the bar floor. The ending was terrible not much to say except -WHY? So if you are looking for film showcasing new faces and a bit of a twist on an old formula mob movie , give it a whirl - A solid B movie

Not worth the time! It was like the movie ended when they were finally getting deeper into the plot! Harvey Keitel, you are too good of an actor for a cheesy role like this....

Or Diary Of a Loser. The main character was obliously inspired by Al Pacino in SCARFACE or CARLITO'S WAY, but he unfortunately is not Pacino. The story itself is very simple and realistic; no hero here, only petty punks story as we already have seen a thousand times before, but I repeat, more simple, in a so unbelievable way that it even becomes flat and boring, predictable and forgettable. No gufights either nor exceptional scenes. i will rapidly forget this one, drowned among the dozens of other features speaking of the La or NYC underworld, with petty punks from the Black, Jewish, Russian or Irish community. Not bad at all though. Because not ambitious, only realistic. You can't have everything.

I really enjoyed this film. Danny Abeckaser was absolutely incredible as well as the rest of the cast. A very believable group of actors. It's clear that this was a project of passion for everyone involved. You feel it in every moment of the film. I can't wait to see what comes next from Writer/Actor, Jon Carlo. This was just awesome.

Really loved this movie, I have not seen too many gangster movies of late that were able to maintain the thrill throughout the movie. Great to see Harvey Keitel back in action too. Great movie !

Very easy and nice movie ! It's not was fun to watch

Excellent all around crime drama flick. I loved it.

Hernan you absolute legend some of the best cinematography I've seen well done mate 👍

Danny Abeckaser was really good in this indie crime film. I love the rivalry of the Jewish and the Russians. I was rooting for Mikki. He was my bad good guy. He always meant well but it never turned out like he wanted. I love Harvey Keitel as well. I knew he would be one of the bosses. Shocked at the low score.
