Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Mr. Lang can direct a film. He has put his mind to it, in this instance, and he has brought forth a hot one with a sting.
– Bosley Crowther,

fresh:
That's the beauty of Lang's moral ambidexterity. He tells the story of a heroic cop, while using it to mask another story, so much darker, beneath.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
20 Jan 2006
fresh:
Lang strips down William P McGivern's novel to essentials, giving the story a narrative drive as efficient and powerful as a handgun.

fresh:
Brutal, atmospheric, and exciting -- highly recommended.

fresh:
Ford's portrayal of the homicide sergeant is honest and packs much wallop. Lang's direction builds taut suspense, throwing unexpected, and believable, thrills at the audience.
