Cat City (2008). 1h 31m | R

“I saw Cat City at a film festival. I love noir thrillers but Cat City fell quite a bit short. The plot is predictable. The dialog isnu0026#39;t sharp at all. And the acting in a couple of the major roles is wooden. Dennehy is fine as a retired police officer now doing PI work but he doesnu0026#39;t get a lot of screen time. Julian Sands was also good as a real estate guy up to no good. The two major roles that were poorly acted were Rebecca Pidgeon as Sands wife — sheu0026#39;s very wooden — and William Shockey as a dot com millionaire. Shockey got screenplay credit too.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s the kind of movie youu0026#39;d kick yourself over paying to see at a cinema because itu0026#39;s simply not that good. Tellingly, it appears to be going straight to cable. If you catch it on cable you might pass a pleasant enough hour or two, but it wonu0026#39;t stand up well against any good film noir movie.”
