thiago S @Thiagostone 15h Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Scott R @ScottR Mar 4 NYT 1000 films. Started poorly and I struggled with it until it transitioned into the actual work that he did exposing the corruption. I appreciated that the only good people in the movie are the corrupt cops. I also enjoyed how it showed how no one really cares about you when they all move on in their careers and you are left alone. It was way too long and could’ve been more succinct and less vulgar. Saw on box. See more Steven P @TheMule Feb 10 This is one of Lumet's best and one of my all time favorites. Surprised it isn't talked about much more. See more Vincent S @Vin_E_At_The_Movies Feb 3 Another epic by the great Sidney Lumet and one of the best cop thrillers ever made. It is like The Godfather of police corruption movies. Treat Williams is outstanding in a very demanding role. The story is complicated but also easy to follow. The cast shines all with brilliant performances. The directing is flawless. This masterpiece should have received more attantion and accolades. See more Sam N @RT61650855 03/21/2025 Sidney Lumet proves yet again he’s the king of New York City thrillers. Prince of the City is a gripping, slow-burn dive into police corruption, following Treat Williams as Daniel Ciello, a narcotics detective who turns informant—only to realise he’s over his head. Unlike Serpico, which digs deep into one man’s personal struggle, this plays out more like a meticulous police procedural, laying bare the tangled web of corruption, bureaucracy, and betrayal. Williams is phenomenal, shifting between cocky, paranoid, and completely unravelled as the pressure mounts. Nobody films New York like Lumet. The city isn’t just a backdrop; it’s alive—loud, chaotic, and pulsing with tension. From sweaty police offices to dimly lit bars and soulless courtrooms, every scene oozes authenticity. The slow-burn pacing pulls you deeper into Ciello’s world, where every decision feels like a trap. A relentless, nerve-wracking must-watch.
