Holy Rollers is a new release of 2010 that is based on the participation of orthodox Jewish citizens of New York in the smuggling of ecstasy from Europe into the United States. With this true situation as a foundation, the film explores the involvement of a young Hasid named Sam Gold, a completely fictional character.
The hero is Sam Gold, a young Hasidic Jew growing up in Brooklyn and being trained as a rabbi. His father hopes to arrange a good match for him, one that will raise him above the poverty his family has known. As the boy grows older, he shows an aptitude for business which his family firmly discourages.
Sam is a young man nearing the future orchestrated by his family - becoming a Rabbi and marrying into a wealthy family that agrees to improve his fortunes for the honor of having a rabbi in the family. Sam, however, finds that he is more interested in the family business than in the continual study and devotion to religion that his life entails.
Although his friend recoils from the truth that they have been used as mules for the drug dealers, and the 'medicine' is actually an illegal chemical, Sam has been intrigued by the glimpses he has gotten of a totally different world. One boy goes back to rabbinical studies, while the other goes on with the smuggling.
Sam begins to form new relationships with the drug underworld as he lives a double life. His business instincts prove valuable and are applauded by his Israeli dealer, and he is attracted by the man's troubled girl friend. Eventually Sam himself is recruiting the innocent and experimenting with the drug he smuggles.
Sam is unable to keep his clandestine activities from his family and his community. As the life of his childhood unravels, he becomes closer to the new people in his life, only to realize that they are embroiled in conflict and despair that he cannot resolve. His own conflict is whether to turn back to the old life or continue down a road he now knows leads to destruction.
The film shows both the deeply religious life of Hasidic Jews and the sleazy underworld of drug trafficking in America and Europe. Conflicts arise as Sam faces the failure of relationships he has grown up with and the futility of new ones he develops. The themes are the loss of innocence, the frustrations of coming of age, the temptations of the world, and the need to take a stand at the end. This is an intense and exciting thriller that is rated R.
The title uses a term, once coined to be derisive, for pentecostal Christians who became 'carried away' or ecstatic during worship. The addicts in the movie are seeking a similar euphoria by means of an illegal street drug. The desire to change current reality of something better is true of both radically different processes.
Holy Rollers is an emotionally charged film starring Jesse Eisenberg as the boy who must become a man to escape the danger his innocence led him into and where his weaknesses entrap him.
