Is it just another evening at the hugely popular Italian restaurant of proprietor and bookmaker Louis Cropa in New York? Anything but as tonight's guests include; a local police detective and his wife specially invited by the owner; on the balcony rival bookmaker gangsters from Queens who want to become partners in the restaurant; in the corner renowned food critic 'the food nymph' is her usual demanding self; and at the bar, seemingly unnoticed, is Ken. As the evening continues enter Duncan, inveterate gambler and sous-chef on-the-line in the frenetic kitchen downstairs, who acts as the catalyst that causes the evening to draw to its inevitable, explosive, deadly conclusion.
Leave your thoughts about Dinner Rush.
| Film Freak CentralWalter ChawNot knowing its story is Dinner Rush's biggest failing--and frankly for as bad as that is, it could've been worse. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldIt's not Big Night, but there's much worth tasting here. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasSurely as satisfying as any of the delicious-looking food served at Louis' restaurant -- and is as full of surprises as any dish Udo ever concocted. |
| UK CriticIan Waldron-MantganiA movie of rich specifics and stylistic creativity that clearly comes from the heart |
| DVDJournal.comBetsy BozdechBob Giraldi's tight, well-paced movie is an example of what ensemble filmmaking can be when it's done correctly. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevySet in a downtown restaurant, this is a small, well-acted (particularly by Danny Aiello) quintessentially New York film that recalls indie movies of the 1980s. |
| OffoffoffJoshua TanzerA genre film, but it tries to tell a story from a different angle - not through tough guys and excessive violence but through a character-driven drama with several different perspectives. |
| RTÉ (Ireland)Tom GrealisThis is an unusually patient and composed feature - it's solidly scripted, it knows where it's going and arrives there with a minimum of fuss. |
| L.A. WeeklyF.X. FeeneyFiery energy, swift, character-driven chitchat and a tough, upbeat sense of how the world works. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThere are enough plots here to challenge a Robert Altman, specialist in interlocking stories, but the director, Bob Giraldi, masters the complexities as if he knows the territory. |
