CITY BY THE SEA opens. Directed by  Michael Caton-Jones. Written by Ken Hixon, adapted from the 1997 Esquire article Mask of a Murderer by Michael McAlary. Sturdy, workmanlike crime drama with Robert De Niro as NYC homicide cop who gets his cupboard skeletons rattled when he learns that the now grown son he abandoned as a child is wanted for murder. Francis McDormand and James Franco co-star.
