It all adds up to a moving film that may not be unforgettable, but it is memorable nonetheless.

Full Review | Original Score: C | Jan 4, 2013

Ambitious, improbable and very violent cop drama.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 22, 2010

It's a shame that the source material and filmmakers manage to waste all the talented actors in this project.

The film ends up as shallow as the thankless love interest role Frances McDormand somehow agreed to play here.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 28, 2008

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 7, 2008

Filmmaker Micahel Caton-Jones serves up an edgy drama filled with tragically flawed characters portrayed by Robert De Niro, James Franco and Frances MacDormand.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 6, 2005

Caton-Jones ... understands that this story is not about how all the details work out, but about one man's heart and his slow awakening to moral responsibility.

If Rebel Without a Cause were told from the father's perspective, the result would probably be something like City by the Sea.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 6, 2004

We watch an esteemed actor discovering new nuances. In turn, it's a sublime reminder of the qualities that made Robert De Niro great, not a gimmick.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 26, 2003

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 22, 2003

It doesn't help that much of City by the Sea plays so precisely lock step in the same order as so many other policiers. It's difficult to muster up much excitement as the film lurches to its pre-ordained conclusion.

O ltimo Suspeito ganha fora ao tambm funcionar em uma esfera adicional: a do drama familiar.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 7, 2003

...A showcase for excellent acting by some older, established performers and also some newer faces.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Feb 8, 2003

...a dark, brooding, depressing tale, unrelieved by the humor or irony the writer of a fictional story might have brought to the screen.

'Yet another exhausted Robert De Niro cop vehicle.'
