good movie
This is really a great, criminally underrated movie, and it saddens me that it has received so few hits. This film is basically “Goodfellas” from the opposite side of the legal spectrum, and Jerry Orbach positively RULES in his role. A tremendous offering, and one of the 80s most stellar cinematic hidden gems.
Absolutely right. It is absolutely unflinching , uncompromising and an artistic triumph for sidney lumet and as far as procedural films go ,is one of the best ever made
Superb movie and good post. I would not be the first to say that academy honors should have gone to director, actor and ? What a high quality of professionalism is demostrated throughout this whole movie. What an honor to be able to put this movie on your resume no matter what part you played in it. I must have watched this 10 times over the years. Everytime without fail, I am pulled into the story and not let go until the end when I am staring at Treat Williams face. Bravo! DVD where are u?
@delysid22 I know people are entitled to their opinions and you are certainly entitled to yours, but I have one question for you regarding your critique of Prince of the City, ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND OR JUST PLAIN STUPID? My guess would be both. Thank you.
Did you watch the same movie I did? Badly written? Of course the main character is a mess. Were you paying attention? This movie is superb in every way.
@delysid22 Dude I’m too busy fucking your sister and mother in ass to give a shit about what a low life wannabe like yourself has to say. I think that the fact you wouldn’t know what a good movie like Prince on the city is sounds pathetic and more narrow minded to me, now why don’t you do yourself a favor and come out of the closet. you fucking Loser.
@delysid22 Whatever Loser. Do yourself a favor and come out of the closet. If you did you won’t be such a miserable prick. Just ask your dad about it.
@delysid22 That’s your comeback? Christ you really are a loser.
@delysid22 thanks dude. You proved my point again.
This is how a real crime drama is made.
they don’t make em like these any more.
obviously a good movie, also old as nowadays they don’t even attempt to go after the cops. if they do end up on the stand they’ll perjure themselves n get away with it.
