Review of City Hall (1996) by Dylan D — 02 Aug 2006
City Hall is an overall effective crime and legal thriller but lacks in terms of a more thought out story or maybe more scenes with Al Pacino. Considering the fact that he recieved top billing I expected for him to recieve more screen time but he did not.
John Cusack fortunately brought some much needed relief to a fairly bland mix of characters and events. His performance was probably the highlight. I liked City Hall but in the end I wanted more out of it.
I percieved the feeling that it could have been better and was made with higher potential. It is a decent crime drama but many viewers, like me will find themselves dissapointed.
