A fantastic triumph of cinematography

This great society drama is one of the best movies ever made about life in a location traditionally called "bad neighborhood." With several interrelated stories playing out at breakneck speed, the film delivers a tremendous impact both on the intellectual, and on the emotional level. The acting is superb, and the slightly stereotypical, yet extremely important themes of urban life are depicted in a seamless manner. Although the main philosophical goal of the movie is hardly more ambitious than exposing the hypocrisy, frustration, and cruelty of people toward each other, City of Hope achieves its purpose brilliantly, and also contains a number of truly great scenes that anyone who watches the film will probably find very difficult to forget.

Great one

This is a great movie. If you like 'Lone Star', you'll also love this one. Otherwise, see both movies. It portrays the many competing forces within a city with real characters and interlocking plots. Don't believe what Leonard Maltin said about losing momentum in the end. No, it doesn't have an indulgent happy ending, but who in real life have happy endings?
