Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

pensman A cliché but a damn watchable one. Edward Burns has written a terrific miniseries and even better, has assembled a great cast including Michael Rapport, Ruben Santiago-Hudson, Neal McDonough, Austin Stowell, and Brian Dennehy. On a recent cable upgrade, I was entitled to a DVR. Big nothing, I thought. But I set it to record Public Morals and when all the episodes were recorded and there was nothing on TV, my wife and I shrugged and thought why not. We binged through the episodes in two days and thought what a great invention—the DVR—and how lucky it was I set it correctly. You know the plot: the mob is making money off of vice and everyone is happy—the mob is making money, the police are getting a taste, and no one is getting hurt. But things are changing. Vince Latucci (Waas Stevens) has been letting some of the goombahs slide on their payments; Christine Muldoon (Elizabeth Masucci) wants to move out of their crime ridden neighborhood and move to Queens.; Charlie Bullman (Michael Rapport) is struggling with being a single parent and with an attraction to a prostitute; and Rusty Patton (Neal McDonough) feels his mob boss father isn't letting him in on the action and is planning, if necessary, to take the old man out (Brian Dennehey). And the murder of local boss Mr. O (Timothy Hutton), then requires vice cop Terry Muldoon (Edward Burns) to try and cope with the crumbling status quo.

kareng81 I wanted to love this series. I was even an extra in three of the episodes and I love era pieces. I binge watched the entire series on TNT over Labor Day when all episodes were made available and I was truly disappointed. Had all the episodes not been available I probably would have quit after the third episode. Some really great character actors and some great set design and wardrobe but the story line did not interest me. perhaps Ed Burns should have focused on either directing or acting and perhaps employed some professional screenwriters who know how to carry episodic television. The actors were great, Brian Dennehy, Michael Rappaport, Kevin Corrigan, Keith Nobbs. Tim Hutton, Elizabeth Mascucci but the lines they delivered were just not interesting or even that believable. On an ecoomic level for NYC and for some BG acting days, A second season would be nice I just wont be watching.

joyce_lawrence I was ten yrs old in 1962, 12 in 64, 14 in 66 - get the picture. I see so many in discrepancy in the background colors, the hair-dos, the cars, and especially the music. We were not wearing mini skirts in 1962! They arrived in 1965 along with Go-go boots! But, of course, I was on the west coast in California. There's a character with long hair! This did not happen until 1966 on the West Coast, let alone the East coast. Some music is 50s Sammy Davis, which is great, but some is 68 R&R. By the way, houses were not painted in turquoise! If anything, it would have been avocado, pimento and brown. But all walls were ivory unless a tenement. Sorry, but you need a real life 60's elder to give you some advice. Ed Burns, relinquish some control.

dunsuls-1 Although only 1 episode has aired on TNT so far 3 more are "on demand"on my cable system so I've seen 4, and while I love the 60's setting of the series I'm not sure where the plot is going.I've seen enough series to know a first season can often be that way so as long as the surroundings hold and the acting is good,stay with it for awhile.I'm hoping eventually for a Serpico meets Goodfellas or something along those lines down the road.The show seems to stand on Edward Burns as a actor and creator of the show with a push from Steven Spielbergs production company.So there's not much to say other than I feel good about its chances and recommend as a gritty NYC cops and criminals set peace
