Music may be the food of love, but a group of gangsters are singing a very different tune at a fancy New York dining room in this dark comedy. Louis (Danny Aiello) is the owner of an upscale restaurant in New York's Tribeca district where his son Udo (Edoardo Ballerini) has become the head chef. Udo's exotic recipes have made the restaurant the talk of the town and very profitable as well, though Louis confesses that he can't stand Udo's cooking. Louis has another son, Duncan (Kirk Acevedo), who runs with a bad crowd; Louis finds out just how bad they are one night when they stop by to dine, with Duncan in tow, informing Louis that his son owes them quite a bit of money and they aren't leaving until they're given part ownership of the restaurant -- or else someone will be killed. Dinner Rush was directed by Bob Giraldi, a noted director of commercials and music videos who also enjoyed success as a restaurateur. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    Great character development and writing with quality ensemble acting and tightly inter-meshed storylines makes this an easily consumed meal. If you like Sopranos, Top Chef, or Hells Kitchen, try this movie. The only drawback: It'll give you a craving to consume fine cuisine for a few days. If you do end up liking this movie, try Brooklyn Lobster, another gritty, New York, working class, great story and characters, Aiello flick.

    Excellent acting over all. Very unusual story line and a gripping pace that keeps you interested till the very end with a great climax. Playing out so many human emotions in a matter of a few hours. It made me feel like i was sitting in that restaurent having dinner watching everything happen in front of me. Very realistic. Definitely worth a watch.

    The majority of the film takes place in one night. There are several characters that play off on one another that keeps the film moving at a great pace. Little things are revealed though out the movie, but you are not quite sure if you have figured it out.

    Yes   |   No
