Well, I saw "Night Falls on Manhattan" last week, and one thing that really impressed me was the GREAT acting. We have a nice story going on, which involves corruption, honesty and justice, but what makes this film really interesting is the performance of Ron Leibman. His character and acting simply steal the show, in a way that you feel right to either love or hate him. Morgenstern is a grumpy prosecutor that tries everything in order to stop criminality in the New York City, which is very contextualized, since that was the main ideology utilized by Rudolph Giuliani in the same place and time. There are some twists over here and there, and albeit the plot is engaging and coherent, we don't have a that great storyline, reason why I'm not giving it anything higher than a seven. As a lawyer, I may admit that it's good to see that movies like this still try to show a lesson about honesty, given that our career has a bad reputation in most part of the world. We have to start ourselves if we want to live in a better world, and that lesson can be learned in "Night Falls on Manhattan".
