Lumet's knack for fine performances smooths over a few plot problems. Damned fine action set piece near the beginning, too, which I don't expect at all from this director

A predictable script, borrowing heavily from Lumet's great works of yore (such as Serpico and the Verdict) but I still thought it was pretty good. And as usual, Lumet uses a great cast and takes out the best in it, so that kicks it up a notch.

I liked this film. Andy Garcia gives a good performance for the entire movie. I though the final speech at the end of the movie was a bit much. Besides the final speech this is a good film.

Super solid, if not totally riveting. It's familiar territory for Lumet, but it is cool and collected, nicely shaded (morally speaking), and with uniformly good performances.

harika bir giriş bölümüne filmin genelinde devam eden -ve lumet'in klasik başarısı- dudak ısırtıcı denge eklenince ortaya standart bir konuda incelikli bir film çıkıyor. bazı patlamalı konuşmalar özellikle garcia'nın oyunculuğu sebebiyle rahatsız edici gelebiliyor, final konuşması fazla göze parmak kalıyor ve romans hikayesi lüzumsuzca hikayeye atılıyor. bunlarla beraber hikayedeki birkaç boşluk olmasa zaten bir başka lumet muhteşemliğine döner.

Night Falls on Manhattan spends most of it's time on the relationships in this drama. A good crime story that keeps the audience interested in the good and bad guys of this story. Andy Garcia, a young up-and-comer who is thrust into a major case by the DA, is a good guy through-and-through but he also finds himself making some difficult choices which is the thesis of this movie. That thesis is played out in a overwrought final speech but that doesn't take too much away from the film.

A relationship drama masquerading as a morality tale. Or is it the other way round?

A perfectly capable, but bland TVish movie.
