Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Popeye also earned counterculture points by mistakenly shooting a federal agent and exhibiting a conspicuous lack of remorse.
– J. Hoberman,
Village Voice,
28 Aug 2007
fresh:
William Friedkin's symphony of long, sharp shocks is memorable for any number of sequences.
– David Fear,
Time Out New York,
18 Jan 2008
fresh:
Producer Philip D'Antoni and screenwriter Ernest Tidyman have added enough fictional flesh to provide director William Friedkin and his overall topnotch cast with plenty of material, and they make the most of it.
– Robert B. Frederick,
Variety,

fresh:
A knockout police thriller with so much jarring excitement that it almost calls for comic-book expletives. POW! ZOWIE!
– Jay Cocks,

fresh:
There is only one problem with the excitement generated by this film. After it is over, you will walk out of the theater and, as I did, curse the tedium of your own life. I kept looking for someone who I could throw up against a wall.
