Reviews
|
Chicago Tribune -
A superb entertainment, it also has something to say.
|
|
Chicago Sun-Times -
A clever thriller with a lot of unbelievable scenes and a sappy ending, but two wonderful performances.
|
|
TV Guide Magazine -
Thanks to a terrific performance by Freeman and slick direction by Jerry Schatzberg, this is a fast-moving, intermittently riveting crime drama.
|
|
Chicago Reader -
Director Jerry Schatzberg has made a penetrating study of human relations--racial and sexual--within a sharply observed social framework.
|
|
Los Angeles Times -
The plot line may fray at times, especially with Fisher's dizzyingly quick segue from magazine reporter to Geraldo Rivera-like television muckraker. But Schatzberg anchors his story with enough pungently observed details of New York--its lofts, chic editorial offices, in restaurants and sad and tawdry street scenes--and with enough marvelous actors, in big roles and small, to give his story real bite.
