Synopsis:
Norman Oppenheimer (Richard Gere) lives a lonely life in the margins of New York City power and money, and strives to be everyone's friend. His incessant networking leads him nowhere until he ends up befriending a young but charismatic politician, Micha Eshel (Lior Ashkenazi), at a low point in his life. Three years later, the politician becomes the Prime Minister of Israel. Norman uses Eshel's name to leverage his biggest deal ever: a series of quid pro quo transactions linking the Prime Minister to Norman's nephew (Michael Sheen), a rabbi (Steve Buscemi), a mogul (Harris Yulin), his assistant (Dan Stevens) and a treasury official from the Ivory Coast.
Norman's plans soon go awry, creating the potential for an international catastrophe he must struggle to prevent. 'Norman: The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer' is a comedic and compassionate drama of a man whose downfall is rooted in a human frailty all too easy to forgive - a need to matter.

Slow, dull but oddly watchable! - Norman review by CP Customer

It was hard to know what to make of this film. The plot was obviously going only one direction. Richard Gere worked hard to perform a character that repeated the same gestures and movement.

I thought there might be more to this, but there wasn't!

No wonder it only lasted a week at the cinema

. Teious, boring and meandering and Richard Gere was not on form or may be it was the script.

Stick with it...it's worth it - Norman review by TR

This is meant to be slow-paced, so don't knock it for that. Also, what's wrong with Richard Gere's performance? He's never given a bad one, and here I thought he brilliantly showed this guy's descent into hopelessness. Very true to life, especially in the sense of being used by others for their own ends.
