Jersey Guy

A low-level mob enforcer, Tommy Donini, attempts to go straight after his cousin takes over the family business. However, his past and his loyalty to his former boss make it difficult for him to escape the life he wants to leave behind. Tommy finds himself caught between his desire for a normal life and the demands of the criminal underworld.

Jersey Guy received a generally negative reception from critics, who found its plot predictable and its humor uninspired. While some acknowledged the efforts of its cast, particularly Michael Rispoli, the film was largely dismissed as a derivative and unoriginal entry in the crime-comedy genre.

• Lacks originality and relies on tired mobster clichés.

• The humor falls flat and the plot is predictable.

• Michael Rispoli delivers a decent performance, but it's not enough to save the film.
