The Last Rites of Joe May (2011)

The Last Rites of Joe May: Directed by Joe Maggio. With Dennis Farina, Matt DeCaro, Meredith Droeger, Jamie Anne Allman. Joe May is an aging hustler clinging to the belief that he’s one scam away from his big score. With his health failing and resources dwindling, Joe is presented with one last shot at redemption.

“I first saw Dennis Farina in the TV series Crime Story in the end of 1980s. And he stuck in my memory as a guy portraying sleazy cops and gangsters. In this sense The Last Rites of Joe May is not far away from that image.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere is one significant difference, however. Although weu0026#39;re still in the shady underworld of low-level criminals, his character glows with genuine repentance. For once in his lifetime, heu0026#39;s trying to make things right, but it seems to be harder than he expects.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThereu0026#39;s also another TV darling from 1980s and 1990s in this one, namely Gary Cole. Overall this is a very good movie.”
