Compelling Trailer For THE ONLY LIVING PICKPOCKET IN NEW YORK Starring John Turturro
A great trailer has been released for the compelling drama The Only Living Pickpocket In New York, starring John Turturro in what looks like it could be an award-winning performance.
He is joined in the cast by Giancarlo Esposito, Will Price, Tatiana Maslany, Victoria Moroles, Steve Buscemi, and Jamie Lee Curtis. The film is written and direct by Noah Segan (Blood Relatives).
The synopsis reads: “A love-letter to New York City. Harry Lehman (John Turturro) is an aging pickpocket who plies his trade with ever-diminishing returns in a drastically changed NYC.
“Wallets stuffed with cash have been replaced by easily canceled credit cards, and Harry struggles to make ends meet as he cares for his disabled wife, Rosie. When he unwittingly purloins & fences a valuable USB stick, Harry finds himself in a race against time to return the loot or face the rage of a vengeful crime family.”
This looks like it’s going to be a great movie. Turturro is one of those can’t-miss actors who always turns in a great performance whether in comedy or drama, and I think this one could land him his first Oscar nod.
Check out the trailer below, and watch The Only Living Pickpocket In New York in select theatres on October 23rd.
