Review of The Naked City (1948) by Ivan N — 23 Nov 2007
After watching Jules Dassin 1955 masterpiece "Rififi" I thought that I would love everything he has done. Man, was I wrong. It's not that this movie is bad, but it didn't deserved the Criterion Collection treatment.
This looks like a 1948 CSI show, and God knows how much I hate that show. The movie looks good but it's nothing to go Ga-Ga about. Just didn't love it. Like it, maybe, but I didn't love this one.
Oh, something that did bother me a lot was the voice over, don't get me wrong, there's nothing for me as narration, Kubrick did it and it was always done perfectly. In this movie the narrator is so boring that it sometimes killed the action for me.
