Homicide Life On The Street Torrent Series Of Rapidly

He is trying to save his son and the impassioned speech he gives is some of the best work Ive seen him do.

New York City homicide detective Vincent LaMarca has forged a long and distinguished career in law enforcement, making a name for himself as a man intensely committed to his work.

But on his latest case, the stakes are higher for Vincent--the suspect hes investigating is his own son.

He and Joey have been painfully estranged ever since Vincent divorced his wife and left the decaying boardwalks of Long Beach, Long Island for the anonymity of Manhattan and a successful career with the NYPD.

He lives his life in solitude, keeping his girlfriend at arms length; the closest relationship he maintains is with his partner, Reg--and Vincent makes sure that stops at the precinct door.

But this murder investigation is drawing Vincent home to Long Beach, the self-proclaimed City by the Sea, where the past has been waiting for him to.

I do not understand why so many of the comments here are negative.

The characters are well developed and the acting is top notch.

Maybe the lack of computer animation or computer generated special effects or car chases or machine guns blazing away turned some of you off.

If you like dramas that are heavy on acting and character development, you will like this movie.

I am not sure where the boardwalk scenes are filmed (Asbury NJ or Yonkers NY) but it looks just like a formerly popular beach front local, that is now a ghost town.

He plays a policeman who is a father to his druggie son, who is accused of murder.

The locale is a grimy Atlantici City-type on-the- skids town by the ocean.

It isnt pretty. As tough as the story can be, its still interesting and recommended as a decent crime film.

Actually, its much more of a drama than an action-crime film.but I liked it.

Its an interesting character study, as well.

Having finally had a chance to watch it, I think it is the best film that Robert DeNiro has been in since Ronin and up to 2006, his last great dramatic performance.

He stars in City By the Sea as the absentee father of James Franco.

DeNiro is a decorated homicide cop who, while investigating a murder, finds uncomfortable evidence that concretely links his son to the murder.

The film becomes a redemptive tale as DeNiros character tries to make up for the damage of the lost years and save his son from a series of rapidly expanding catastrophes.

Franco is tremendous for the entire film as a junkie who is trying (perhaps not very hard) to escape from his current life for one mixed of fantasy and memory.

His character in the film tends to be very restrained and controlled.

He hides his past because hes trying to protect his own vulnerabilities.

By the time we reach the climactic scene towards the end of the film with his son, the restraint and control are gone.
