When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

The premise of this movie - a lone ex-soldier unraveling a plan to take over New York's Central Park singlehanded and managing to keep the police at bay over several days - does seem kind of hard to swallow. However, with the way the movie is executed, you'll almost believe it could happen. The movie does have a good amount of merit to it. While it's a mid-'80s Canadian movie, the production values are surprisingly good; this movie obviously had a budget. Tommy Lee Jones gives a fairly commanding performance at the Vietnam vet with a plan, and there are other good performances by Helen Shaver as the curious news reporter, and Yaphet Kotto as a chief police officer (though he's given little to do until near the ending.) Director Steven Hilliard Stern creates some good action sequences and keeps things moving at a rapid rate. Though maybe the movie is a little bit too swift; we hardly learn anything about Jones' character at the beginning, and before the twenty minute mark he's already taken over the park. Some people may be offended that Jones' Vietnam vet character is yet another cinematic Vietnam vet who is a "loser" (unemployed, estranged from his wife, etc.), despite surveys that show that most Vietnam vets in real life are adjusted and happy. But if you can look over this "loser" portrayal, chances are you'll find some enjoyment with this movie.

I can't imagine Tommy Lee Jones in anything bad... His performance here is solid and believable although a bit hammy at times.... What I like about this movie is the story... With the current state of affairs in the USA at the present time...(2007) It seems very relevant...Everyone seems to be asleep .. Too preoccupied with their cell phones and Ipods to notice what is going on around them. This movie really grabs you... Too bad this doesn't happen in real life! You still find yourself rooting for the guy who you know is doing wrong but his justification is beyond what is legal.. it's simply the right thing to do! Good supporting cast and Helen Shaver does a good job as the objective reporter. It is an old theme but still a very powerful one and all the key elements are there. Sometimes you have to put your selfish desires aside and find the strength to do what is right even though it may not be popular.If you like a story with a solid message, decent acting and a few thrills for good measure, I recommend The Park Is Mine!

this movie is one of the best i'V ever seen and to be honest i'V been trying to get it on DVD for years now its one of those movies that keeps you riveted to the screen as not to miss a second of the action, as this is my all time favorite movie,tommy lee Jones hits the mark in this one,as we all know he is a phenomenal actor but in my opinion this one puts him over the mark,are they ever going to release it on DVD?i'V seen a lot of movies since its release but not many come close to the excitement this one still creates in me props go out to the cast and staff on that work on and with this one. hats off to you folks thanks for a great flick, now please get it out on DVD

I kept thinking throughout this movie 'get a life.' The script is so dumb, it's laughable. Die hard Tommy fans will like this. He does a good job, and is convincing. Nb// Tommy says the F word alot. I enjoy all of Tommy's performances, but did he read the script of this one? On the bright side, it's not as bad as the script of "Eyes of laura mars.'
