| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzToo bad the pic had such an ugly and forgettable story. |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyA tough-talking street melodrama, both shocking and sorrowful, acted by Paul Newman and a huge cast with the kind of conviction that can't be ignored. |
| FulvueDrive-in.comChuck O'LearyA realistic, colorful and always interesting study of a veteran police office (Newman) and his a rookie partner (Wahl) patrolling the rough streets of the South Bronx. Asner is memorable as their gung-ho new commander. |
| Washington PostJudith MartinWhat they came out with is the most complete collection of cop-movie clichés since John Wayne played a Chicago cop in “McQ”. |
| IGNDevin FaraciWhile the movie has some good sequences, as a whole it never seems to come together - the pacing is all off. |
| User ReviewDanny Swatchable cop movie, thanks to Newman's acting chops. Overlooked hard-boiled cop story. |
| User ReviewBarry LThe best thing about this film is the 80's Bronx backdrop and the IZ The Wiz throwups passing you by on the elevated....awesome. |
| User ReviewJanis MSom en riktigt bra 70-talsfilm. Paul Newman är som klippt och skuren och slutet är av allra bästa sort. |
| User Reviewdavid tI don't know what to say. I've just finished watching this. It's the best cop movie I've ever seen. There are some great performances, (Paul Newman stands out, but then he would), but the star of the movie's got to be the Bronx. It's the setting that makes it, not the actors, the plot or even the action - and there's plenty of that. The ending? Ohhhhhh . . . . son of a *bitch*. Worth anybody's time. |
| User ReviewJeff ZR.I.P. a great american hero. This is my favorite image of Newman, regular guy with honor and his own code. |
