Even though the movie doesn't leave much of a residue, it looks terrific while you're watching it: Manhattan has seldom appeared as glitzy or as glamorous. Jun 3, 2012 | Full Review…

Most of New York, indoors and out, looks about as good as the Chrysler Building in Scott's gleaming fusion of eternal triangle and killer-on-the-loose. Jun 24, 2006 | Full Review…

Howard Franklin's screenplay plays less like a feature film than like the pilot for a failed television series about New York policemen. May 20, 2003 | Rating: 2/5

Movies like this are on automatic pilot. Unless we are very young, very naive or hopelessly lusting after one of the stars, there is little to interest us aside from interior decorating hints. Jan 1, 2000 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Much of its failure to convince emotionally as well as intellectually must be laid at the door of its director, Ridley Scott, who seems far happier making super-high-tech thrillers like Alien and Blade Runner. Nov 4, 2019 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

A guilty pleasure: Ridley Scott's fourth film is a minor work, a semi-effective combo of cop thriller and erotic noir melodrama, but it has nice visual style and the perfromances by Tom Berenger, Mimi Rogers and especially Lorraine Barcco are likable. Jul 27, 2008 | Rating: B- | Full Review…
