Black-and-Gray Morality: The commies (or rather their agents) are depicted as ruthless evil characters who Would Hit a Girl and Shoot the Dog, the cops are a bunch of sanctimonious jerks, while New York is filled with lowlifes with a heart of gold who succumb to a criminal life style only to make ends meet. | |
