Full Plot Details

New York City homicide detective Vincent LaMarca has forged a long and distinguished career in law enforcement, making a name for himself as a man intensely committed to his work. But on his latest case, the stakes are higher for Vincent--the suspect he's investigating is his own son. He and Joey have been painfully estranged ever since Vincent divorced his wife and left the decaying boardwalks of Long Beach, Long Island for the anonymity of Manhattan and a successful career with the NYPD. He lives his life in solitude, keeping his girlfriend at arm's length; the closest relationship he maintains is with his partner, Reg--and Vincent makes sure that stops at the precinct door. As long as Vincent lives in the protection of the present, he doesn't have to deal with the pain of his past--or his sorrow over his broken relationship with Joey. But this murder investigation is drawing Vincent home to Long Beach, the self-proclaimed City by the Sea, where the past has been waiting for him to return. The agonizing memory that has tortured him all his life--the death of his father, a convicted murderer who was executed when Vincent was just a boy--still plagues him. In the course of the investigation, he discovers that his own unresolved pain and failures as a father have deeply influenced Joey's life, and now his 18-month-old grandson may be fated to follow their self-destructive paths.

Movie Reviews

Arizona Daily Star - 10/10 by Phil VillarrealThe underworld urban angst is derivative of Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver and Goodfellas, but this film speaks for itself.
Film Quips Online - 9/10 by John R. McEwen...A showcase for excellent acting by some older, established performers and also some newer faces.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 9/10 by Chris HewittA TV movie is still a TV movie, even if it's shown in theaters.
One Guy's Opinion - 9/10 by Frank SwietekEarnest but earthbound...a slow, soggy, soporific, visually dank crime melodrama/character study that would be more at home on the small screen but for its stellar cast.
Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Michael WilmingtonTakes a fascinating true story and turns it into a conventional cop thriller, hoking up the provocative three-generation saga of the LaMarca family.
San Jose Mercury News - 9/10 by Bruce NewmanLike a book you can't put down, this is one of the rare movies that simply keeps getting better and better.
Bangor Daily News (Maine) - 9/10 by Christopher Smith...little more than a well-acted television melodrama shot for the big screen.
Flick Filosopher - 9/10 by MaryAnn JohansonWe're forced to watch DeNiro struggle to chew out some of the most painful dialogue ever written... It's downright heartbreaking.
Star-Democrat (Easton, MD) - 9/10 by Greg MakiIf Rebel Without a Cause were told from the father's perspective, the result would probably be something like City by the Sea.
Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL) - 8/10 by Jeffrey WesthoffUnfortunately the story and the actors are served with a hack script.
