Holy Rollers

A powerful, compelling, well-acted, factually based film in which a bright, but naïve, 20-year Hasidic Jew (Jesse Eisenberg), who lives with his parents (Mark Ivanir and Elizabeth Marvel) and siblings in Brooklyn, gets recruited by his greedy neighbor (Justin Bartha) and enticed by a pretty blonde (Ari Graynor) into being a courier for an Israeli dealer (Danny A. Abeckaser) who was cleverly using orthodox Jews in 1998 to smuggle ecstasy pills into America from Amsterdam.
