The City (1994) is an intriguing exploration of morality within the gritty underbelly of urban life. You've got Ravi, this principled cop, who discovers a web of drug deals spun by wealthy kids from powerful families. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and you can't help but feel the weight of Ravi's struggle against corruption. The pacing is deliberate, drawing you into the nuanced dynamics of power and privilege. There are some practical effects that stand out for the time, lending credibility to the world. Performances, while not flashy, convey a sense of urgency and realism that keeps you invested. It’s a unique take on crime drama that doesn’t shy away from the darker aspects of society.
The City has been somewhat elusive in collector circles, with limited releases making it a rarity among enthusiasts. Most known copies are VHS, with no significant DVD or Blu-ray remasters surfacing. Its distinct narrative and atmospheric storytelling have garnered a niche following, making it an interesting piece for anyone exploring lesser-known crime dramas from the '90s.
