The film ends up as shallow as the thankless love interest role Frances McDormand somehow agreed to play here.

If Rebel Without a Cause were told from the father's perspective, the result would probably be something like City by the Sea.

Caton-Jones ... understands that this story is not about how all the details work out, but about one man's heart and his slow awakening to moral responsibility.

Ambitious, improbable and very violent cop drama.

Filmmaker Micahel Caton-Jones serves up an edgy drama filled with tragically flawed characters portrayed by Robert De Niro, James Franco and Frances MacDormand.

It's a shame that the source material and filmmakers manage to waste all the talented actors in this project.
September 26, 2002
A compendium of clichés about fathers and sons.

It's a run-of-the-mill cop thriller but also a gripping family drama.

The real Vincent LaMarca has lived a life that's the stuff of Greek tragedy. Too bad this film can't quite do it justice.
September 06, 2002
De Niro's workmanlike in a dismayingly familiar role.
September 11, 2002
A film that doesn't just support the action to come, but makes it seem inevitable.
