Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly Rated: C+ Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Emanuel Levy Variety 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. Rated: C Apr 27, 2007 Full Review Globe and Mail Rated: 3/4 Apr 12, 2002 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A grim and violent derivative revenge thriller.

Graham M 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/09/24 Full Review Bahad j This idea of ​​the filmmaker made the movie more accessible to more people. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/12/24 Full Review Audience Member Very Dark and intense edge of your seat film with a poignant theme of caring throughout! Great music score by Steven Endelman! 5 stars! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Very cool. A real mish-mash of L.A. Great performance by Harvey Keitel. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't understand the poor ratings this one got. I love the revenge motif and this is an exemplary example of it. Harvey Keitel, I think, often doesn't get his due. He's pretty good in this one. Plot moves right along and is all in all pretty satisfying. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
