Prince of the City
During a quarantine in which long, depressing movies are mana from Heaven, Mike and Dan discuss Prince of the City (1981), Sidney Lumet's sprawling morality play about a corrupt cop who flips and tries to have his moral cake and eat it, too. Dan applies one of Mike's remarks on Lawrence of Arabia to this film, which they both heartily recommend as a movie that reminds the viewer of The Shield and countless late 70s movies in which money in manilla envelopes is slid across restaurant tables.
