Review of Fort Apache, the Bronx (1981) by Kris W — 04 Jun 2010
This movie could have been great. Newman, as always, lights up the screen. I worked in this South Bronx neighborhood from '05-'09 and felt there were lush cinematic moments that truly captured the complex textures of the neighborhood.
The main plot-line is never truly resolved, a la Citizen Kane, and I think that is brilliant given the world the film tries to capture. I enjoyed the film but thought it was bogged down by a lack of focus and its regressions to the world of TV cop procedural.
