CITY HALL
I don't know why I watch political films. I am not a very political person and I am the first person to admit that I don't understand politics some of the time... but this movie stars Al Pacino.
A cop meets up with a member of a gangster family which ends up in a shoot out... during the shoot out a stray bullet hits a 6 year old boy and kills him. The deputy mayor investigates what happened and realises there is a lot more than meets the eye.
This is a drama that was very interesting. It was horrible seeing the boy getting shot. I am a father of 2 children and I really don't know what I would do if I lost either of them. Watching a scene like that really scares me and brings home that it really could happen to anyone. All it takes is to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
There are some shocking scenes in this movie, but in general it is quite a slow film. There is a lot of dialogue which you have to listen to otherwise you could miss a big plot twist. I don't mind a lot of dialogue, but if it is political I will struggle to understand it. Thankfully this film was not that bad to follow.
Some of the plot twists were quite predictable but others I didn't see coming at all.
The acting was brilliant from everyone. Al Pacino, John Cusack and Bridget Fonda are the lead cast members. I can't really fault anyones performance.
It was OK... It is one of those movies that I am happy I watched, but I doubt I will ever watch it again.
I will give this film 6 out of 10.
