Media reviews
Entertainment Weekly
It would be a better movie, easily, if it had let a little more nuance creep into its script.
New York Times
It?s a big, blunt, battering ram of a movie, but it?s not dumb: The stunts are sharply executed, the actors unimpeachable and Paul Cameron?s lively camera turns the streets of Philadelphia into a credible-enough Manhattan.
Empire
A throwback to the pulpy cop thrillers of yesteryear, if not quite strong enough to ensure that Boseman?s righteous cop gets his own franchise.
Indiewire
an occasionally tense but largely predictable cop drama (...) Boseman and Miller make a solid team.
Variety
It is dark, cynical and nearly slick enough to disguise how stupid it is (...) Boseman?s role doesn?t offer nearly as much complexity as the screenwriters seem to think.
Screen Daily
A solid but forgettable crime thriller whose best asset is Boseman?s commanding presence.
The Hollywood Reporter
104 minutes of nocturnal big-city crime action that?s amped up to a borderline ridiculous level of nearly uninterrupted violence.
Rolling Stone
There are 21 reasons not to see this limp, lame cop thriller ? and not a single one to justify wasting your money on it.
