This was a film I saw when abroad a while back. Eversince I saw the film I thought it was a great movie and wanted to own it on dvd. The story is about a guy called Vincent Lamarca (Robert Deniro), whose father was executed for a 1950s kidnapping of a child, growing up to become a police officer, only to see his own son become a murderer. It's no "Casino", "Taxi Driver" or "Raging Bull" but is definately worth a watch.
New York City homicide detective Vincent La Marca has forged a long and distinguished career in law enforcement, making a name for himself as a man intensely committed to his work. But on his latest case, the stakes are higher for Vincent: the suspect he's investigating is his own son...
Engrossing, involving and moving story about an ageing homicide detective whose life is rocked when his estranged son is suspected of killing a drug dealer. Robert De Niro gives a performance to be proud of, James Franco is spot-on as the son and the wonderful Frances McDormand is the would-be love of the tec's life who he keeps at arm's length. Excellent adult movie.
It was one of those slightly depressing movies, so don't watch it if you need cheering up. Basically it's about the issues in a drug culture BUT for those who love the psychological side of films, this was good to watch. De Nero of course played his character well, and his son was played brilliantly.
bought this product because i am a big robert de niro fan, he plays a stern performance in this movie, hadnt seen this movie until i purchased it...bob
