Although this film was not all that I expected it to be I found it to be an extremely interesting story, which kept me hooked right until the end. I had previously been a massive Pacino fan and he does not disappoint, but I had only seen one of John Cusacks films (Grosse Point Blank) and I found his performance to be overwhelming in this, very believable and a character you couldn't help but like.
A MUST see for any Cusack or Pacino fans.

I just love Al Pacino so try get all his movies. Not one of his best movies but if you love Al Pacino anything of his is good. Al Pacino re-teams with Sea of Love director Harold Becker, as New York Mayor John Pappas, in the City Hall. A thriller taht's the first film ever shot inside the lover Manhattan structure which is ground zero for the city's government. There is Murder, corruption, cover up and scandal in this movie. I did enjoy it and the actors are really good. If you love Al Pachino you would love the movie.

Mr Pacino can be a little erratic in his performances but this is a good solid performance from a very accomplished actor. John Cussack also holds his end up well as does Danny Aiello ( a much underrated actor in my opinion)
This is not a clear cut film about good and bad. It is about how these lines are easily blurred over time.
A very good film that I would strongly recommend.

Solid political based drama from 1996 with great cast
Re-watching this in 2011, City Hall is still a decent film, but not a great one. Pacino looks slightly weak but delivers a powerful lead role, alongside an excellent young John... Read more

Complex and uneven
There's some truly dreadful dialogue and awkward scenes in this film. It has a point to it, but it weaves a complex web. Read more

Rather trite altogether
The film concerns a classic theme. In fact it concerns the theme exploited by Batman, from beginning to end, but in real data and details. Read more

City Hall
Being a john Cusack fan I have seen most of his films, this is not like his normal characters. He doesnt speak into the camera or do his shy lovey dovey bit. Read more
