Review of Prince of the City (1981) by Roger Ebert for Chicago Sun-Times — 02 Sep 1992
Prince of the City is a very good movie and, like some of its characters, it wants to break your heart. Maybe it will. It is about the ways in which a corrupt modern city makes it almost impossible for a man to be true to the law, his ideals, and his friends, all at the same time.
The movie has no answers. Only horrible alternatives.
