Video Review

City of Industry (1998)

EW's GRADE
B+

Details Movie Rated: R; Genres: Drama, Mystery and Thriller; With: Stephen Dorff, Timothy Hutton and Harvey Keitel; Distributor: Orion Pictures

Director John Irvin (Widow?s Peak) has a bleak vision of L.A.?s seamy underbelly that makes City of Industry more than just another B movie. Mood counts as much as motivation when, following a heist gone bad, Harvey Keitel goes after his brother?s murderer and a fortune in diamonds. And after watching him wallow through sleaze pits full of lap dancers, loan sharks, and assassins, you feel that he?s earned the right to go on a bloody Taxi Driver-like rampage. With Stephen Dorff as a truly despicable double-crosser. B+
