Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
What we're left with is a movie without the courage to declare itself.

rotten:
This detective melodrama has something to offend almost everyone.

rotten:
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.

rotten:
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.
