Like other Irvin films, this noir saga (more of an urban Western) is burdened with a philosophical layer that's incongruous with the basic tale, though acting by Keitel, Dorff, and others is good.

The majority of it may be generic – few concepts stand out as original – but Keitel makes for a wholly convincing ruffian.

Rated: 5/10

Tough, gritty and violent this is a throwback noir film well worth seeing, with some terrific performances, in particular Harvey Keitel , doing what he does best.

City of Industry is one of them movies that seems like a good heist movie by the poster, but doesn't turn out how you expect when the movie starts.
