      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 william s low tork gangster movie that looks the part but does not act the part. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 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 Audience Member I remember dismissing this film as just another in a long string of Quentin Tarantino rip-offs. However, watching it now, it's really just a solid crime story that doesn't bear much similarities to Tarantino films outside of it being violent and having Harvey Keitel and a strong ensemble cast. The revenge story about about Keitel going after a sleazeball who screwed him over after a robbery is solid, though it begins to meander after a point and loses some of it's momentum. However, a strong performances by a solid cast (Keitel, Stephen Dorff, Timothy Hutton, Famke Janssen, Michael Jai White, Lucy Liu, and Elliott Gould) make it worth watching. The underrated John Irvin directed the film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      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.
