  • Not worth it...

    Anyone expecting a bright clever and fresh comedy here will be seriously disappointed. This is french cinema at its worst : boring (and soooo predictable) plot, unimaginative direction, overwritten dialogue and a bunch of brilliant actors unable to make us believe in their characters (with the notable exceptions of Claude Risch and Charlotte Gainsbourg). Some entertaining moments won't disguise the fact that this is a huge disappointment... Too bad really.

  • Surprisingly good.

    At first, you think this is one of those seen before stories and then you end up thinking the screenplay is rather clever and unexpected... Then you tend to believe Gregory Hoblit is a rather dull director but in the same time you can't stop being surprised by the well crafted editing job... So you look at the actors involved here : you think Richard Gere is going to give one of his non acting job, that all the female characters are going to be as useless and boring as always and that the so-called "newcomer" will turn out to be one of those tasteless Matt Damon types of actors... But, again, you have to face the facts : Gere is incredibly believable and tasty, Liney, McDormand and Woodard are close to perfection and Norton makes a stunning screen debut (probably the most impressive one since Timothy Hutton's performance in "Ordinary people")... All in all you have a really good film when you thought you were about to watch another dull thing. Quite a surprise...

    It's sad to say, but "City of Industry" is a dull movie. Oh yeah, you get fine performances from Keitel and Hutton (and also a slightly over the top one from Dorff) but there's nothing here that truly turns you on. Rather ordinary plot, average filming, and (now) usual use of violence for that kind of movie. I bet Clint Eastwood would have done a better job directing this !
