Based on the premise and the talent involved on both sides of the camera, Motherless Brooklyn seems like exactly the sort of movie that would appeal directly to fans of the hard-boiled crime genre, but nobody was all that interested when it first came to theaters in November 2019.
Edward Norton writes, directs and plays the lead role of Lionel Essrog, a private detective with an incredible mind for his chosen profession, one who refuses to let his Tourette’s syndrome get in the way of his day job. After his mentor and friend is murdered, Lionel sets out on an odyssey through Brooklyn and Harlem, uncovering a conspiracy that continues to close in around him the nearer he gets to the truth.
