Watch: City by the Sea 2002 123movies, Full Movie Online – New York City homicide detective Vincent LaMarca has forged a long and distinguished career in law enforcement, making a name for himself as a man intensely committed to his work. But on his latest case, the stakes are higher for Vincent–the suspect he’s investigating is his own son. He and Joey have been painfully estranged ever since Vincent divorced his wife and left the decaying boardwalks of Long Beach, Long Island for the anonymity of Manhattan and a successful career with the NYPD. He lives his life in solitude, keeping his girlfriend at arm’s length; the closest relationship he maintains is with his partner, Reg–and Vincent makes sure that stops at the precinct door. As long as Vincent lives in the protection of the present, he doesn’t have to deal with the pain of his past–or his sorrow over his broken relationship with Joey. But this murder investigation is drawing Vincent home to Long Beach, the self-proclaimed City by the Sea, where the past has been waiting for him to return. The agonizing memory that has tortured him all his life–the death of his father, a convicted murderer who was executed when Vincent was just a boy–still plagues him. In the course of the investigation, he discovers that his own unresolved pain and failures as a father have deeply influenced Joey’s life, and now his 18-month-old grandson may be fated to follow their self-destructive paths..
Plot: Vincent LaMarca is a dedicated and well-respected New York City police detective who has gone to great lengths to distance himself from his past, but then makes the terrible discovery that his own son has fallen into a life of crime.

Reviews:

A film that wasn’t bad but certainly wasn’t great…
Vincent LaMarca’s job is to arrest killers, but this job is different. The suspect he is tracking is his own son. As a cop, LaMarca must bring the accused to justice. As a father he must try and help his son. However LaMarca owes his son more than that as he walked out on him and he is also plagued by his own bad memories of his father and how he was executed for murder.

This film starred: Robert De Niro, James Franco & Frances McDormand.

City By The Sea was released in 2002. When I saw the trailers for this film I thought it was going to be really good. With a great actor like De Niro and an up-coming star in James Franco I was really expecting good things from this movie. However, in my opinion this film didn’t deliver. It was OK but it bored me some parts and apart from the end scene I wasn’t as moved as what I had expected from this film. I don’t recommend this film because you will probably be left disappointed.

***/***** Could be worse.

DeNiro,McDormand anchor the film;Franco,Dushku and Forsythe steal it
Straight-laced detective Vincent LaMarca(a pained and restrained Robert DeNiro) has already lived a disrupted and uneven life of broken relationships and the memory of his dad who was imprisoned and executed for the death(later deemed accidental)of a kid that he had kidnapped). As if that weren’t enough to bear,his troubled son Joey(JAmes Franco) has ran away and faces trouble with both the law and the baddies,particularly a vile thug named Spyder(William Forsythe). This is the general construct of director Michael Caton-JOnes’ and screenwriter Ken Hixon’s film. Set in an unspecified part of New Jersey(though one might infer that it’s Atlantic City,given the title),this film is mostly character study,with actors Franco,Eliza Dushku(As Joey’s scared girlfriend)and Forsythe making the most of their characters,while DeNiro and Frances McDormand(as DeNiro’s patient friend and lover) provide fine,if not exception,performances in this drama. Good for a viewing or two. 8 out of 10
