Top CriticIt doesn't feel like a cookie-cutter cop thriller, and, on top of that, it's actually about something.
03/12/01
Top CriticHerzfeld's a secondhand-meister, simply regenerating themes, styles and a story line that we've all seen -- and tired of -- somewhere before.
03/09/01
Top CriticThe movie is nothing if not ambitious. The movie is nothing if not overdone. The movie is also, well, pretty much ... nothing.
03/09/01
Top CriticA clumsy urban thriller.
03/09/01
Top CriticA shrewd thriller.

Top CriticThe filmmaker tries to eat his cake and have it as well, giving his audience ample servings of what we presumably want while slapping our wrists for it at the same time.
03/09/01
Top CriticA picture that has a crowd-stopping impact.
03/09/01
Top CriticOverwrought and hypocritical.
03/09/01
Top CriticUltra-violent, blatantly manipulative and politically reactionary.
03/09/01
Top CriticDe Niro and rising star Edward Burns have just enough knowing, gritty give-and-take in 15 Minutes to make you hungry for more.

03/09/01
Top CriticA tiresome screed that purports to teach us a lesson about violence and the media even as it serves up much more than the minimum daily requirement of stabbings, bloody gunshot wounds and relentless stomach punches.
03/09/01
Top CriticWarhol's statement was just a one-liner, and a movie requires more than that to run two hours.
