Review of The City

The City (1977 TV Movie)
2/10
Sigh. Made for TV mess.
26 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Too many improbables. Especially a cop with hay fever or a developing head cold trying to talk Mark Hamill (as if he were just a kid) into surrendering. And would everybody please stop blubbering helplessly "what's going on?" or "why is he doing this?" as if any of that matters.

Be afraid. Get mad. And get prepared.

Jimmy Dean. No police. No publicity.

Stupid rage "I just want the guy who killed Burt."

"Who shot the magnums?" Capt can tell just walking up on the scene?? (I've fired .38 spl and .357 magnums. The recoil is different. The holes in stuff aren't.)

Jimmy Dean's lying is tiring. Weakens the plot. Insults us viewers. By the time he fesses up, we don't care.

Whatever. Quinn Martin was better at 42 minute episodic stuff.
