Some of his personal rightwing political statements have turned me off and I usually find AndyGarcia (as an actor) playing Andy Garcia. But in City Island, wow. Iguess this is what you would call a command performance. He's extremelybelievable and lovable as a sort of dim-witted (in a Rocky Balboa sortof way) prison guard who secretly takes acting classes and develops afriendship with a young woman while also adopting a convicted felon whojust so happens to be his secret long lost son, while trying to keepall of these life's complications from his tough Bronx wife. Thesub-plots involving his daughter being a stripper and his son having afetish for overweight women are admittedly a little bizarre, but AndyGarcia's performance as the gentle soul just trying to do right in theworld keeps this WoodyAllenesque soap opera entertaining as all hell. Ithink this is the only Andy Garcia movie that I ever really liked, andI have to admit it even brought a tear to my eye. I don't know if CityIsland will ever get the credit it deserves, but in my opinion AndyGarcia's performance in City Island is the stuff that Oscars are madeof.
