Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Its gamy images inside the leather and S&M gay bars along the Greenwich Village waterfront are both busy and dark.

Taking away the kissing, caressing and a few bloody killings, Friedkin has no story, though picture pretends to be a murder mystery combined with a study of Al Pacino's psychological degradation.

What's left is the framework for a graphic, brutal, sickening film, without the violent effects that might have made sense (however illegitimate) out of the conception.
