DON 2006 MOVIE REVIEW MOVIE
(Tony Danza), Angela Martello (Glenne Headly) and sister Monica (Brie Larson), sitcomish but a lot more vulgar than you’d find in any shots of “Leave It To Beaver.” Young Monica appears to like texting as much as her brother digs sexting, given only two lines in the entire movie since she’s is otherwise occupied with her iPhone. He is also ostensibly the first woman he introduces to his paisan family, a sitcomish Jon Martello, Sr. In the case of “Don Jon,” the serious relationship comes in the guise of a gum-chewing Barbara Sugarman (Scarlett Johansson), the only “dime” in the bar (meaning a woman who rates a score of 10 in body and looks), and presumably the only one who makes Jon wait for a couple of dates before giving in to their mutual electricity. In addition to being this year’s comedy to beat, “Don Jon” is the best movie about sex addiction since Steve McQueen’s terrific “Shame,” which stars Michael Fassbender as the junkie, a more serious tale on a similar theme, specifically about a guy who has no problem getting it up in the shower and with an assortment of hotties but could be in a Viagara commercial when he begins to develop a serious relationship with a woman. Called “the Don” by his two best buddies Bobby (Rob Brown) and Danny (Jeremy Luke) because of his skills with the fair sex, he must stun girlfriends and members of the movie audience alike in declaring that he prefers porn to the real thing, on one day beating his meat a record eleven times, a feat that hardly disturbs the parish priest who regularly absolves him of his sins. Joseph Gordon-Levitt pulls off a working-class Italian accent (again, so to speak) throughout as a young man who serves as a bartender, a student in night college, and a Don Juan with an enviable array of women he picks up in crowded bars. With the able help of Lauren Zuckerman, whose rapid edit complete with collages keeps the pace furious and Thomas Koss whose lenses capture a working-class town in New Jersey and some brilliant close-ups of Gordon-Levitt, “Don Jon” should take off with audiences who appreciate the delightful vulgarity that has made current film a far cry from the days of the Hollywood censors who insisted that if a man and a woman are in bed, each must have at least one foot on the floor. The chase has begun.All this is illustrated by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who, amazingly wrote, directed and stars in “Don Jon,” the year’s best comedy to date. Wanted by the police, hunted day and night, forever on the run. He owes Vijay for having looked after the boy while he was in prison. The other is Jasjit, the real father of Vijay's adopted son, Deepu. He had been mercilessly killed by Don when he had decided join the gang. The first is a Roma, a young woman who was working in the gang, but only to avenge her brother's death. Vijay manages to escape and is now on the lookout for the one last piece of evidence that can get him out of this mess. The only people who realize that he is in fact an imposter are the members of Don's cartel, and they want their revenge. But in a bizarre twist of fate, Desilva is killed during a raid and the secret that Don is in fact Vijay, a police informer, is buried within him. Vijay infiltrates the cartel and manages to give Desilva all the information he needs to bring it down. Unknown to even his own department, Pesilva has recruited and trained a man who is a spitting image of Don. Don is captured and Desilva puts his plan into action. He is a man who has sworn to put an end to this nexus of evil and knows that in capturing Don lies the key to unlock this puzzle. His chief pursuer is an Indian police officer, Desilva. He is unstoppable in his pursuit of absolute power. A man who lives life on the edge, Don is constantly expanding the size of his empire while evading arrest or death at the hands of his enemies, both within and outside the law. The cartel is headed by the dreaded Singhania, but what many people do not know is that the business is truly managed by his lieutenant, Don. There are rumors that the gang recently moved their operational headquarters. It is at this time that the Malaysian intelligence and Anti-Narcotic department are called upon for assistance by their Indian counterparts. In 2006, the drug trade is booming trafficking between Asian and Europe is at an all time high.
