not as good as all the hype

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

As bad as they get. This film commits the fatal error of making the viewer not care what happens to characters. The two women in this flick are so stupid that you begin to root for the bad guys so this thing would end.This film is one of the few that was so bad that I had to turn to another channel. Put in highbrow language, this film lacks verisimilitude. People, not even people from Ohio, simply do not act like this. Well, maybe the writers do.There is not enough beer in the world to make this film bearable.F903

The "Justice With a Bullet" episode of "Naked City", a series of journeyman cops and drama stories set in NYC, involves a contract on detective Halloran (Vance) and a couple of midwest young female tourists who find themselves in trouble with gangsters. An entertaining flick which doesn't take itself too seriously, "Naked City: JWAB" is an okay no brainer watch for couch potatoes into crime flicks.

Naked City: JWAB does a pretty good job of balancing its two A - B stories, eventhough I'm not all that fond of multiple plot movies. And Scott Glen and Courtney B. Vance make a great on screen dual. However, I'm not sure what kind of message a movie sends when two flat-foot country girls can get off scott free with murder, grand theft, and to top it off, win a free flight home (in first class no less--at least from the looks of their attire anyway). Gee, I guess that blue wall of silence is still rather think!Rating: 8

I don't usually like TV movies, I reckon that if the thing was any good it would make it to Hollywood. This one though is better than average, pretty high production values, a few interesting story twists and some nice shots of NYC (along with Toronto) hold the interest.
