Norman: The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer (review)

That title saves me from writing a plot summary. Richard Gere is the titular character, who scurries around NYC on his cell trying to make deals and establish connections. Gere is enjoyable in this uncharacteristically nebbish role, which is good, since he’s in almost every scene. The machinations are interesting and the supporting cast strong. There are some cinematic flourishes that take the movie out of reality, but it still works. While the film isn’t especially memorable, it places an intriguing character in an atypical story.

 

3 out of 5 stars (3 / 5)
