John Tutorro in The ONLY LIVING PICKPOCKET IN NEW YORK-I was Duped If Only I'd Known

"The Only Living Pickpocket in New York" ("OLP") had quite the racquet going in its trailers as I was grifted thinking this would be a gift for cinephiles. Call me a sucker for the anti-hero genres set in the cinematographer's dream city; New York. I was snookered. I'd like to run this monotonous movie out of town or tar and feather its writer/dir. Noah Segan. Segan (b. NYC 1983) is known for bit acting roles in "Knives Out" and "Glass Onion". Segan made his directorial debut with the vampire film "Blood Rela- tives".  OLP is only Segan's second directorial feature. Harry (John Tuturro "Severance" TV series) is the protagonist, a shifty, lowlife thinks the 9-5 lifestyle is for suckers. He makes his living pilfering other people's  property. Harry takes his booty to the pawn shop owned and operated by Ben (the priceless Steve Buscemi "Sopranos" TV series) his longtime friend and consort in crime. Ben abets Harry's petty and felonious finds. Buscemi is the best part of this lugubrious character study of an anti-hero pickpocket. Harry winds up lifting belongings from the wrong guy.  This leads to a circuitous transit on the city subways to steal back what he stole or his beloved wife Rosie being help captive will be murdered. Rosie is catatonic and completely dependent on full-time care. We don't know why she's in this state nor do we care. Following a lugubrious travail to retrieve the stolen property which includes a crypto card we're tortured by lots of painful, cliched plots. Harry reached out to the daughter he abandoned long ago. Ben, perhaps only friend gets badly beaten and gives Harry up. Harry has somehow gained admiration from a retiring detective who covertly aids him by clandestinely revealing information. The biggest sin was Harry trying to win sympathy by disco dancing for his bedridden wife. Before Harry's takes his final bow, he will somehow make amends. Harry eschewed technology but becomes current and ripped off the crime family's cryptocurrency. Jamie Lee Curtis appears at the end as head of the crime family. This made for a  dreadful send off. Simply put, I mistook this nogoodnic pic to be an entertaining look into an obsolete  lifestyle. I got took.
