What happens
City Hall is a 1996 American political thriller film directed by Harold Becker and starring Al Pacino, John Cusack, Bridget Fonda and Danny Aiello. The film is Becker's second collaboration with Pacino, having directed him in Sea of Love (1989). The film was released by Sony Pictures Releasing on February 16, 1996, and received generally positive reviews from critics, but was a box office bomb as it grossed $33.4 million against a $40 million budget.
