The concept for Holy Rollers has had me intrigued ever since it was first brought to my attention a few months ago. The "true" story of a Hasidic Jew(Zombieland's Jesse Eisenberg) who is persuaded to become a drug mule for an Israeli dealer, Holy Rollers was one of the buzzworthy flicks at this past Sundance Film festival. After watching the trailer, I think this one might be more interesting than good. Certain parts of it definitely look like stuff we've seen before. The last drug trafficking movie I saw that really hit home with me was 2004's Maria Full of Grace, which was unflinching in showing the true costs of drug muling. If Rollers is half as good as that I'll be surprised.
Holy Rollers will be released on a limited basis on May 21st.
Check out the trailer below and let us know what you think!
