City Hall (1996)

 At the beginning of 'City Hall' a 6 year old black boy is killed in the cross fire of a police shooting in North Brooklyn. The movie focuses on how the Mayor's off ice handles the fall out, and of course there is a corruption angle. Al Pacino is the Mayor, John Cusack his deputy. David Paymer and Danny Aiello are in this, Martin Landau plays a judge. Also staring Bridget Fonda (Peter's daughter) who was briefly a thing in the 90's before marrying Danny Elfman and starting a family. I liked the politics centric first half, didn't so much care for the mystery centered second half. **1/2
