City of Industry (1997)
An excellent crime film which sees Harvey Keitel's retired thief swear revenge on getaway driver Stephen Dorff who murdered Keitel's brother and partner following a lucrative jewel heist before going on the run with the stash.
Very much a neo-noir in style with Harvey Keitel very much on form. Set in Los Angeles with the cities less salubrious locations paramount to the action. City of Industry is gritty and violent and very much follows that Reservoir Dogs path in style if not in plot although Keitel and Timothy Hutton sat outside casing the jewelery store was very 'Dogs' in feel.
If i learn one thing from this film each time i watch it it's that Famke Janssen was born to play cut off jean wearing trailer trash.
