fort apache the bronx | Year: 1981 Classification: Action/Adventure Directed: - Daniel Petrie Actors/Actresses: - Paul Newman - Edward Asner Obscure Classic This is a classic film that hardly anyone that I know have ever heard of. This is a shame since this is a movie that has hardly any of the cliches that clog up so many police dramas. Paul Newman stars as a cop who tries to enforce the law without engaging in violence against suspects. This sets him at odds with other officers including the new precinct captain played by Ed Asner. This is the heart of the movie and it leads to a surprising conclusion. A script, acting and directing job that adds up to on excellent movie. A little hokey, but a solid film with great performances Good cop films are really important, and this is an excellent portrayal of the human side of law enforcement. What a find. It's a very convincing, gritty New York drama, something that is always appreciated. One of the film's strengths is its ability to shift from comedic moments into harsh tragedies, and in this sense feels like an accurate reflection on real life. Newman is absolutely convincing in his top rate performance, as is the rest of the cast. Which brings us to the plot - it's solid, but not dazzling. You have a sense it is trying to be a tour-de-force about police mentality and corruption but falls a bit short. But, for the rest of the film's strengths, this can be overlooked. Highly recommended. pam grier is hot pam grier makes me want to go out and bang a junkie Buy Fort Apache The Bronx at Amazon.com Buy posters at Allposters.com Jamster - the latest ringtones for your phone!
