Movie Reviews

Time Out - 10/10 by Tom MilneAn astonishing in-depth portrait of the interlocking worlds of police and hoodlum results, with no punches pulled and no easy solutions.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 10/10 by Jay ScottThe film is a concentrated, unrelievedly serious and cerebrally involving entry, exhaustively detailing the true-life saga of a Gotham detective who turned Justice Dept informer to eke out widespread corruption in his special investigating unit during the 1960s.
The A.V. Club - 10/10 by Scott TobiasThe tough urban realism Lumet perfected in cop dramas like Serpico, Q&A, and Prince Of The City has been reflected in first-rate TV shows like Homicide: Life On The Street, The Wire, and The Shield. But those shows had multiple seasons to draw out the breadth of institutional corruption, while Lumet miraculously covers this territory in 167 minutes.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertPrince of the City is a very good movie and, like some of its characters, it wants to break your heart. Maybe it will. It is about the ways in which a corrupt modern city makes it almost impossible for a man to be true to the law, his ideals, and his friends, all at the same time. The movie has no answers. Only horrible alternatives.
USA Today - 10/10 by Mike ClarkPrince of the City is a very good movie and, like some of its characters, it wants to break your heart. Maybe it will. It is about the ways in which a corrupt modern city makes it almost impossible for a man to be true to the law, his ideals, and his friends, all at the same time. The movie has no answers. Only horrible alternatives.
Newsweek - 9/10 by David AnsenWhat remains is nearly three hours of disorientation and paranoia, accented by Method-y monologue outbursts that quickly disappear into a vacuum of overwhelming loneliness.
New York Times - 8/10 by Janet MaslinPrince of the City begins with the strength and confidence of a great film, and ends merely as a good one. The achievement isn't what it first promises to be, but it's exciting and impressive all the same.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzDirects another Serpico, but with improvements.
The New York Review of Books - 8/10 by Murray KemptonA model instance of the movie that insists on being a film and proceeds inevitably to assault our common sense with the counterfeit of a moral lesson.
Empire - 8/10 by Simon BraudBrilliant, but forgotten eighties cop epic with an astounding central turn from Williams.
