Miika's Movie Diary - 2018 (222 movies items)

"5.10, PC Prince of the City on kyyninen kuvaus huumepoliisista, joka alkaa tehdä yhteistyötä virkavallan korruptiota tutkivien tahojen kanssa. Elokuvan luomassa maailmassa meno on kylmän realistista, ja pidin erityisesti siitä miten huumekytät, päähenkilö mukaanlukien, on kuvattu kovina äijinä, joilla kasetti saattaa kuitenkin levitä paskan osuessa tuulettimeen."

"1st viewing, PC/TV 17 April 2016 Directed by: Sidney Lumet Ehdottomasti liian pitkä elokuva, ei pysynyt kunnolla kasassa. Odotinkin varmaan myös liikoja. "
