Avoid at all costs.

Sometimes you have TV movies that are worth watching and then you have TV movies like Concrete Canyons that are completely the opposite, they're total garbage. If you tried to write a cheesier bad story you would fail. About everything in this movie is wrong, the story is so predictable and cliché you wonder if they did it on purpose just to piss people off, and then you have the acting that is beyond bad, especially from Polly Shannon that acts (if you can call it like that) like she's the dumbest female character ever. But the most annoying thing about Concrete Canyons is the soundtrack, those lazy piano tunes that fill the entire movie, trying to add some ambiance to the movie, but instead doing the opposite, and that is bugging the crap out of you. I wish I could dismantle that whole piano and shove every single key in a place where the sun doesn't shine, that's how much I hate the soundtrack guy. If you're a bit of a masochist then this garbage might be for you.

An appealing cast and enjoyable movie

Today I enjoyed watching Concrete Canyons again and was pleased by the slower place and gentle feeling the whole thing has. I've seen this a few times and though it is not a nail biter it's a pretty good way to spend a few relaxing hours.

The score by Stu Goldberg added to that atmosphere with music that is understated with good melodies and pulls all the right strings. He creates pleasant musical support that stays in the background where it belongs and adds just enough tension when in the right places without overshadowing the on-screen action.

Like another review above stated, the similarities between Ben Sloane and Jesse Stone were there, the last names even rhyme, and there are other similarities. They are both good looking large men, with gentle understated strength who show a conscience and quietly and unassumingly do what they need to do, and they both have considerable appeal.

Polly Shannon is attractive in a Irish elf-like way and is a good foil for Scott Patterson; her character is sceptical and questioning, but not unwilling to learn and change her views once she researches his background and learns of his many successes. All in all, not bad character development for a low budget movie.

Another reviewer was more harsh about the clichés but it was easy for me to overlook them and just enjoy the film for what if offered, hopefully more people will feel the same way. It was good that they resisted the obligatory fall/spring romance cliché' between Sloane and Kincaid that most would have added just for sex appeal. They instead, concentrated on the theme of a family in a crisis trying to find help, hope and redemption and I felt it was the right thing to do.

I would gladly watch any sequels that they might make and be happy to see what happens with the characters.
