Stephen Dorff gets to be soulless wheelman in another heist with Timothy
Hutton, Harvey Keitel and Wade Dominguez. When Keitel's brother is murdered,
the story shifts gears to a revenge tale and a larger part for Famke Janssen,
who looks just too darn gorgeous to be the down-trodden wife of a probationary
bad boy. As Keitel goes from one dangerous situation to the next, nearly
being beaten to death each time, I have to marvel. Then there is the Asian
gang versus Black gang thing that I didn't get at all because it looked
like the uncredited Elliott Gould was in charge. In all, "City of
Industry" lacks a hero. There is no one to care for. No one, no emotions
to identify with. The film is to be commended for trying to blend character-driven
material with a strong plot. But it just doesn't always work out. Rated
