Messy, overwrought, and technically fuzzy, this cop opera still maintains a strong and passionate pulse.

The kind of tough-minded moral drama that Lumet excels at.

Garcia turns in a solid, emotionally complex performance, and he keeps the audience involved when the plot takes some credibility-straining turns.

One of the most unfairly overlooked Hollywood films of recent years, [it] marked a return to form for one of American cinema’s great moralists.

Makes the important point that our values don't just determine what we do but who we are.
