I HAVE SEEN THIS FILM 6 OR 7 TIMES and I think Mr.Keitel's scintillating performance cannot be descibed.He is too good.
Dorff,Dominguez and Hutton are perfect.
YOU MUST SEE THIS ONE.

This is showing on Epix now.
I watched it not knowing anything about it except it was a robbery/heist movie,
then of course I find out it's a Harvey Keitel movie,
a nice surprise!

De ja vu of 'Reservoir dogs'.

it's a movie about a heist, sure, but that's where the comparison b/w the two flics end...

this is a damn good movie, made better because all of the fantastic acting, with keitel at the top...so deliciously bad a$$

it is better to have a gun and not need it, than to need a gun and not have it

Keitel is the king of bad azzzz!! Cool as a cucumber.

Not too many can strut in a suit, smoke a smoke and wear sunglasses quite like Harvey can.

The man even kicks azz with a smoke hanging from his mouth. -- LOL !!

I've seen this flick four times and could watch it four more.

Viva Keitel !!

My God !! It's full of stars....

My favorite Keitel film, to be sure.

Actually one of my all time favorite films, period.

Reservoir Dogs is very good, but City of Industry is better.

I have to agree. I came across this movie scrolling through the free movie section in Comcast On Demand. I knew I had to watch the minute I saw Harvey was in it. For me, the movie is a solid B movie, elevated by Harvey's performance (one of the best of his career.) There's no one like him.

Dorff & Keitel are great for sure. Very overlooked crime film, solid performances and fantastic soundtrack. It drags a bit in the second half, but otherwise it's very above average.
