Movie Reviews of Fort Apache, the Bronx
Movie Review: "Real Live Truth"
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is over 30 years old and shows how life was in the Bronx in New York City for police, crime, poverty, and drugs. I grew up in the Bronx and this movie comes very close to how things were. Paul Newman is brillant in his role, and this movie is filled with non-stop action. I'm glad I was able to find this on Amazon after all of these years!!!!
Movie Review: A good Paul Newman fim.
Summary: 4 Stars
I remember seeing this Newman film when I was young and I enjoyed it as I usually did with any Newman film. He was a little older but still great. I was pleased when I was able to find it on dvd because I've never seen it on tv. I wonder why, since I think it is a well done film. A story about the difficulties of being a NYC policeman.Movie Review: Great movie, terrible DVD transfer
Summary: 4 Stars
One of my favorite movies. Great script and performances. All that is spoiled by the DVD transfer. The video is dark and grainy. It is the same quality as the VHS version.Movie Review: "You'll do better walking the beat in Beirut than you will here."
Summary: 3 Stars
In the war zone of the South Bronx, the police of the 41st Precinct have the worst absentee record in the city, the most disability record claims, the least conviction per arrests, and there's nobody doing anything and the men aren't motivated...
The first petition of the new captain Dennis Connolly (Ed Asner) was to make it clear that there is zero progress on the investigation on the murders of two policemen (killed on the opening of the film by an addicted hooker played nicely by Pam Grier). For the good officer the case must be cleared even if his men have to take extraordinary measures to clear it...
Murphy (Newman) comes from three generations of cops... All his friends are cops... He gets drunk every night... He is essentially honest and he doesn't trust anyone but his partner, Corelli (Ken Wahl). He is attracted to Isabella (Rachel Ticotin) who happens to be a heroin addict...
The film turns dramatic first when a body is discovered after a fire... Death was caused by injuries sustained in a fall... Murphy and his partner witnessed the officer Morgan (Danny Aiello) throwing an innocent kid off the roof... And second when narcotics dealers took a bunch of doctors, nurses and patients hostage...
Paul Newman's performance is vulnerable, masking his sensitivity with arrogance and showing a flash of charm and humor... It is a story of an ordinary cop finding the courage to stand up and be counted... As portrayed by Newman he is touchingly believable...
Movie Review: Just fair
Summary: 3 Stars
The script was a little hokey and the overall movie was nowhere near as good as I remembered from when I was 7 and saw it in the movies. Having said that, Pamela Grier was much better than I remembered her being. Her ... hooker with a razorblade smile defined my opinions on females for a long time to come.
