Black City

About This Movie

You really sense the weight of his struggles; the atmosphere is thick with moral ambiguity. It’s gritty and raw, with practical effects that add a layer of authenticity to the violence and tension. The performances are solid, particularly how Borin deals with betrayal and hopelessness. There’s a sense of doom hanging over it all, making it distinct from typical action flicks of the era.
