The Best Laid Plans of Mice and Men: City Hall

Date of Review:  Feb 4, 2004
The Bottom Line: I wish it were better as I'm a fan of the genre, but all in all City Hall is a weak effort. You can afford to skip this one!
Review: Menschkeit, you know... something between men... it's about honor, and character... untranslatable. Mayor John Pappas

Director Howard Becker (Sea of Love) peels back the shiny foil wrapper and shows us the seamy underbelly of NYC politics...

Great New York Drama...

Date of Review:  Jan 22, 2005
The Bottom Line: Good movie for fans of political dramas and crime dramas (although no CSI-style crime-solving techniques). Good for kids 13 and up although they may not understand it all.
Review: I had heard of this movie when it came out in 1996, but I have never gotten around to seeing it in theatres or renting it. A few months ago, I was at Best Buy, and they had the DVD on the $5.99 rack. Intrigued, I bought it. I put it in my collection...

Not that great of a film starring alleged "greats"

Date of Review:  Apr 10, 2000
Review: I'm not sure if I would consider Al Pacino, John Cusack, or Bridget Fonda "great," but all have earned enough acclaim(except for maybe Fonda, who also has her share of negative reviews) to make one think they would choose "better" than this film. I...

Big Apple big-time blues

Date of Review:  Feb 14, 2002
The Bottom Line: A young politician finds fatal foibles in his idol, the mayor of New York, in a lukewarm big-city melodrama that doesn't measure up to its own self-import.
Review: My wife wanted to check out this New York City drama because she has a thing for John Cusack. He plays Kevin Calhoun, a Louisiana-born deputy mayor to larger-than-life Manhattan Mayor John Pappas (Al Pacino), who has political ambitions far beyond...

Great actors Bad writes = City Hall

Date of Review:  Oct 29, 2000
Review: Capsule: As a mayor's assistant investigates a crime with political implications, we get an inside look at the workings of a political machine in New York City. The mystery itself may be the weakest link in the film, with the setting and style being...

"City Hall" fails to win votes

Date of Review:  Jan 3, 2000
Review: This movie about corruption in city government gets off to a really strong start but then drifts off into something that wouldn't even make the movie of the week. As a huge fan of Pacino, I was really disappointed with his lackluster performance in...
