Suicide, an Israeli film directed by Benny Fredman, is an average crime movie, with sadistic gangsters and company owners in big trouble and debt. The film was released in 2014 and is available on Netflix, part of the monthly subscription.
In debt over his head, Oded Tsur is forced to set up his own suicide in order to honor the accumulated debts to a mafia ring. The events are set in Jerusalem and involve a lot of bizarre characters, and a crime story with some hilarious and spectacular twists. The mafia guys look like ogre - but do not speak Hebrew with a Russian accent - and exhibit an elaborated pleasure to kidnap and kill, especially children.
The viewer should not expect too much depth from this movie, but it is entertaining and worth spending a bit of adrenaline-fuelled time. There is plenty of black humour too, for those looking for more than just mafia stories from the Holy Land.
Rating: 3 stars
