"City of Industry" - D-



Here's another short review, because there's just not much to say about this one....

There are good "California" movies, and there are really bad "California" movies. The 1997 crapfest known as "City of Industry" is one of the worst of all time.

All the leads — even Harvey Keitel — deliver two-dimensional and silly performances in a pointless heist-gone-bad tale. What could have been a pretty good crime movie tinged with revenge is instead just another terrible production to be avoided.

Grade D- (This one is really bad ..... I mean it)

What are you talking about, dude, are you out to lunch? This was one of the baddest movies ever. Harvey Keitel is the quintessential bad-ass dude, and the movie is filled with great one-liners, not to mention an amazing tension. Sure, the plot is predictable and very light, but what movie doesn't have those characteristics these days? Don't listen to homey, this is a great movie.
