Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: C- Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Rated: 2/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times One Good Cop wanted to manipulate my emotions, and I was willing to let it try, but finally it was so shameless that I'd had enough. Rated: 2/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Keaten is as good as can be within a synthetic role.

Laurian D A very underrated movie. Keaton and Russo are likeable as always. It's not a blockbuster but it's one of those feel good movies that you don't mind rewatching every couple of years or so. Definitely give it a try! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/25 Full Review Jelisije J When a movie spoils the plot of the first 30 minutes by the title alone you know your not going to get a mind blowing unpredictable movie, but it still was a decent watch. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/14/24 Full Review Jack t One Good Cop, starring Michael Keaton, not gonna watch it again because it was sxxt. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/18/23 Full Review Steve D I never know what I want to happen in films like these but the results leave me shrugging. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member One of my favorite Michael Keaton movies. A forgotten gem. If you like Keaton check it out. The rest of the cast is stand out. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member One Good Cop hasn't aged well especially in today's climate. There are decent performances from Rene Russo and Michael Keaton. Starts off as decent buddy cop comedy, but with the death of one of them on the job, it delves into a manipulative melodrama. The conclusion now feels the opposite of "feel good" by portraying problematic law enforcement behaviour. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
