Playing the hero of an issues movie (and this one is dripping with issues) is usually a thankless task, but Slater carries this one with ease.

It’s depressing, it’s dark and dingy and so far it’s the strongest set of performances on the big screen this year.

See this only for Bacon's compelling performance. Factual or not, he creates a moving portrait of a young man who never had a chance.

It is Bacon's absolutely powerhouse performance that helps make 'Murder' one of the classic prison pictures of all time. (published 1-27-95)

O roteiro maniquesta e a direo pesada, nada sutil, de Rocco comprometem irremediavelmente o filme - que ainda conta com a atuao nada convincente de Slater.

An arbitrary by-the-numbers courtroom/crime yarn that sometimes shifts between being too preachy and pretentious.
