we often see movie about undesirable thing go on in politics and but i still recommend city hall . in a role he be bear to play and al pacino star a new york mayor who have to deal with the shooting of a boy . but it turn out that nothing that he do will really have any effect . in this movie and the character be as gritty a we would expect of anyone involve in a political scandal . no matter how much you trust any give politician and you may have your doubt after watch this movie . i understand that i can not name any specific example of something similar to what this movie portray and but that not the point . if we have idealistic impression of those at the top and this movie tear such idea down . certainly one that i encourage you to see . also star john cusack and bridget fonda and danny aiello and anthony franciosa and david paymer .
