'Dinner Rush' (can someone explain me the title?) belongs to a genre that had some remarkable successes in the last few years - the restaurant drama. Yes, there is such a genre, and it had a few highs - especially in the Japanese and Taiwanese cinema. This one is located in Manhattan, in an expensive Italian restaurant. Almost all the action happens in one evening, which may be the result of an adaptation of a play (just guessing). A Mafia story, and a multitude of interesting and generally well articulated characters interfere. However, the whole story is never interesting and compelling enough, and while enjoying the good acting I was left with a feeling of lack of consistency. The action was not interesting enough, the directing was not stylish enough, and even the food did not seem tasty enough to justify an evening to this movie. 7/10 on my personal scale.
