Movie Reviews

Newsweek - 8/10 by David AnsenSharky’s Machine contains all of the ingredients of a tough, violent, cynical big-city cop movie, but what makes it intriguing is the way the Burt Reynolds character plays against those conventions.
Nolan's Pop Culture Review - 8/10 by Michael A. SmithBurt at top of his game both in front of and behind the camera.
CinePassion - 8/10 by Fernando F. CroceWould be laughable if not for its intensity of romanticism
The New York Times - 7/10 by Janet MaslinMr. Reynolds's third and best directorial effort - the first two were Gator and The End - is an unexpectedly accomplished cop thriller. There is, as is often the case with movies of that genre, less here than meets the eye: the plot has its unreasonable spots, and the story doesn't come to much in the end. But one measure of the success of Sharky's Machine is that it's too fast and exciting for those considerations to count until after the movie is over.
Washington Post - 7/10 by Gary ArnoldDirecting his own starring vehicle, that sly boots Burt Reynolds gives the audience a shamelessly lurid but stylish going-over, while putting a clever new wrinkle or two on his own status.
Associated Press - 6/10 by Bob ThomasSharky's Machine marks Burt Reynolds' emergence as a first-class director of urban action-drama. With the skill of a veteran, he pilots a rollercoaster ride from one breath-taking sequence to another, with occasional pauses for romance and humor.
Chicago Tribune - 6/10 by Gene SiskelUnfortunately, Reynolds the director is as uncertain about the tone of the picture as Reynolds the star is about his screen persona. So while the action veers from lightweight action to extreme violence, Reynolds' character vacillates between macho tough guy and sensitive, vulnerable leading man.
Chicago Reader - 5/10 by Dave KehrBurt Reynolds showed signs of becoming a very personal filmmaker with this police thriller, his third outing as a director. It has the wistful faith in innocence and the extreme moral outrage of Gator coupled with the subversive infantilism of The End; what Reynolds lacks in technique (which is plenty) is nearly compensated for by the almost embarrassing intensity of his feelings. The context is extremely violent, which makes the intimate moments—between Reynolds and the girl and Reynolds and his buddies—stand out in agonizingly stark relief.
Empire - 4/10 by William ThomasReynolds was coasting at this point of his career, with zero risk-taking it ends up as a soulless, below-average movie.
Time Out - 4/10 by Nigel FloydUnfortunately, Reynolds the director is as uncertain about the tone of the picture as Reynolds the star is about his screen persona
