Review of Prince of the City (1981) by Eric M — 24 Sep 2010
A great lead performance from Treat Williams and a solid supporting cast of terrific character actors (including Jerry Orbach, Lance Henriksen, and Bob Balaban) add life to this fact-based crime drama, though its overlength and lack of any real momentum make it difficult to sit through at times.
Director Sidney Lumet tackled similar material much more successfully with "Serpico" and this film has a bit of a repetitive feel to it.
