| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob ThomasWants to work in moral grays like "Serpico," but cops out. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid NusairThere's ultimately not a whole lot within One Good Cop for the viewer to enthusiastically embrace... |
| User ReviewJennifer MOne good cop has to fight the bad guys and take care of his partner's three little girls after he is killed in the line of fire. |
| User ReviewLindsay Gi love love love this movie and no one has ever seen it! grr.... |
| User ReviewDerek Jthe most underrated actor and his character face another test and succeed in this crime drama. the character acting and moral dilemma/heartfelt story are the strengths oppo- sed to (action) production values still remaining in the 80s. |
| User ReviewNikki JLoved this movie...have seen it many times! |
| User ReviewRosie KI thought this was a tearjerker and a great moving film; A law enforcement officer (Keaton) must stand up to criminal behavior in his "circle" of brothers. He steps up to the plate, when a widowed partner's three daughters lose their father in the line of duty; Rene Russo is a sweet actress who gives her all to every movie. She must play "stepmom" and doctor to the girls, who are so adorable and cute. This film tests the true meaning of Brotherhood and compassion. Bravo to Keaton and Russo on their splendid performance. |

| User ReviewDean MFantastic story of a good cop become a newfound family. |
| User ReviewKevin SArtie and his partner are two good cops and they are best friends. When arties partner gets killed in action artie must now take care of his three daughters which artie and his wife have no experience in. and they must make a decision on whats best for the girls because they cant afford them and the orphanage would split them up. And meanwhile also artie still goes out looking for the bad guys. Michael Keaton and Rene russo are the only actors I recognized in this movie. After batman and beetlejuice I have alot of respect for Keaton. To me he is a great actor. He can really get you into the story with his acting. I got this movie at Goodwill for $1. Didn't even see what it was about but seen Keaton on the front and already had it in mind that I was going to buy it. I knew with him in it that it would be good and it was. Rene russo played his wife and was very good here too. Two thumbs up for this movie! Its an emotionally well acted movie with good action too. |
