Awful acting by Treat Williams


Sorry, but Williams hysterical, screaming performance helped to kill this for me, along with it's stagy feel and the monotonous pace. Some great scenes of New York City is all this has to offer..

Yeah, I thought Williams was superb. And I'm a democrat. You know, the people smart enough NOT to vote for PUTIN'S BUTT-BOY.
Republicans in Congress, too, They don't give a crap about any American... they are only there to collect money. Most say they're Christian, but they are FAKE CHRISTIANS that Jesus would SPIT ON.

I'm a liberal, and de facto Democrat supporter too, and I agree with your opinion about Williams.

The irony is that this is arguably a *Republican* film, if one were to be simplistic.

I mean, it's brilliant, and I'm a leftist who prefers complexity over binary good versus bad/left versus right, but put simplistically, it's a pro-cop film (a pro-*corrupt* cop film, even), and one that features a surrogate for a young Rudy Giuliani as one of the more sympthetic lawyers/prosecutors.

Same could be said about 'King of New York': great shots of old New York is all it has to offer ((
