Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times It's sort of insidious, the way a formula can take over and smother a good idea for a movie. Rated: 2/4 Oct 23, 2004 Full Review Kenneth Turan New West/California Flaccid and undefined where it should be taut: Though much is made of its having been shot on location in the dread South Bronx itself, the picture plays like it was made on the Fox back lot. Jun 17, 2022 Full Review Alberto Abuín Espinof The film is sincerely direct, at times very raw, showing without compassion or bluntness a world full of misfortunes. [Full Review in Spanish] Aug 28, 2019 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Too bad the pic had such an ugly and forgettable story. Rated: B Jul 25, 2015 Full Review Chuck O'Leary FulvueDrive-in.com A 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. Rated: 8/10 Oct 9, 2005 Full Review Jeremy C. Fox Pajiba Rated: 3/5 Sep 17, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews
