Critic Reviews

Owen Gleiberman

Ends up about as exotic as a straight-to-cable potboiler. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

The script recycles clichés that go back to 1937'S "Dead End," the performances are one-note, and the whole thing has the flat, bright look of a TV cop show. Read full review

Kenneth Turan

Main lure is what feels like a very authentic visual sense of the nontourist side of Kingston, where the ambience of zinc-walled shacks wallpapered with old newspapers is captured by cinematographer Richard Lannaman. Read full review

Jonathan Foreman

The acting, camera work and writing are all crude and amateurish, even by the standards of student films. Read full review

Tina Benitez

Cop is an energetic portrayal of mean-street ghetto life. Read full review

Marjorie Baumgarten

A hackneyed police story, rife with clichés, implausibilities, and weak performances. Read full review

Film.com Ernest Hardy

It's little more than a loose assemblage of Hollywood action movie formulas: "Dirty Harry" and assorted cop/buddy flicks are the clear models for the movie. Read full review
