NIGHT FALLS on MANHATTAN is absorbing precisely because we cannot guess who is telling the truth or what morality some of the characters possess.

Sidney Lumet, the poet laureate of urban corruption, is on apparently safe ground with NIGHT FALLS on MANHATTAN. Lumet gives this film a wide array of characters and a solid sense of place. He has made 29 films in New York City without duplicating a location, and he knows his territory inside-and-out.
