Ray Starman

Beautifully photographed, suspensefully directed almost like a Hitchcock film, this ode to fifties film noir hits the mark. Norton's eccentric performance works and Baldwin brings intense authenticity to his Robert Moses portrayal of a powerful city planner and master builder who plowed his way through a stagnating gotham toconstruct powerful transportation edifices that defied gravity and gave strength to the image of New York City as the colossus that it became.
