City Of Industry

Wanting A Man Dead Can Be Reason Enough To Live.

In the twisted maze of a city teeming with corruption, a seasoned "professional" is going to teach a traitorous rookie a simple lesson: There's nothing more lethal than a man with nothing left to lose. Academy Award nominee Harvey Keitel and co-stars Stephen Dorff and Oscar winner Timothy Hutton turn up the heat in this "four-star, edge-of-your-seat crime and revenge story" (Toronto Sun) that strips the mask off L.A.'s shrouded underworld and turns it inside out.

In the "business" of armed robbery, Roy Egan (Keitel) is a master who's ready to retire. However, when his brother Lee (Hutton) proposes one last job -- a slam-dunk, three-million-dollar diamond heist with his two friends (Dorff and Wade Dominguez) -- Roy can't resist coming out of retirement to cash in on a sure thing. But when one of the "friends" gets greedy and pulls a deadly double-cross, the stage is set for a pulse-pounding game of cat and mouse as Roy relentlessly tracks him down, hell-bent on revenge.

A hard-hitting crime drama ... dazed and reeling viewers - Porkchop

City of Industry (1997) is a hard-hitting crime drama that will
leave the audience dazed and reeling by 2 powerful (virtual)
left and right jabs to the stomach.

The reason the script and scenes work flows from its realism, in
the totality of the work, in that the action is entirely
believable, credible as is the case with the acting.

The DVD release is impeccably edited, with a sharp, clear
wide-screen release, and suitable soundtrack.

Four underground thugs, played by Harvey Keitel, Stephen Dorff,
Tim Hutton and Wade Dominguez, stakeout a bank in preparation of
relieving all its vault's and safety deposit boxes contents for
themselves.

After, it's a race against the clock in terms of
determining who stays alive, whose greed and skill
combination will get the upper hand in keeping the loot.

Unfortunately, in between the shotgun action, car pursuits, body
combats, explosions, car thefts, beatings, intimidation,
shakedowns, knife slashing, there is a limited or no law
enforcement, which oversimplifies a similar scenario.

Keitel's skill in getting information in the underground is also
impressive, as he is able to reach the right people to get the
right information needed.

A paradox of this story, is the girl played by Famke who,
despite not partaking in the events, acknowledges her own
humanity by applying medical treatments to a gang member, and
caring about the particular situation, (as does the audience, in
the final analysis), as bodies are littered on the ground, in a
heart-breaking, nightmarish, one-dimensional manner from the
psychotic events having unfolded.

City of Industry is unique enough to be revisited for the
special effects, action, visual charisma of the actors and
quality of the filming, if not for Keitel's presence.

Like it or not - Cky15

City of Industry is another entry into Tough Guy Cinema. The story could be from any noir of any decade. It's a stylish, violent crime movie. You're either on board or off.
Roy (Harvey Keitel) comes to LA to help his brother (Timothy Hutton) and two other hoods pull a high profile robbery. They take down a jewelery store and before you know it they're splitting the cash. Then Skip (Stephen Dorff) caps Timothy Hutton (who looks like preppy sleaze with that scruffy beard).

This movie is about Roy getting revenge, no matter what. He dedicates his life, or about a week in his life, to hunting down Stephen Dorff. It's a stylish, slick film, full of LA 'industrial' locations of the machinery and criminal type. Take a bit of To Live and Die in LA, a bit of old fashioned noir, a lot of blood (including a head-bashing finale), and Harvey just being Harvey. A highlight is the laptpop bit in the lawyer's office. Subtle menace.

Really Boring - kav2001c

I found this movie more boring than anything else
Its supposed to be a film about tracking down a guy on the lam, but I think more people are going to rent it to see a pre-famous Lucy Liu get naked

The script and dialog are TERRIBLE
The pacing is so dull you will be hard pressed not to sleep (or at least skip forward)

All in all its one you should avoid (but probably wont, cause if you know this dvds name chances are you know why you wanted to rent it)
