Movie Reviews of The New CenturionsMovie Review: Best Wambuagh Movie Made! Summary: 5 Stars
This is a favorite movie of mine. The casting was superb. Outstanding performances by all especially George C. Scott. I believe this was one of Scott's (Kilvinski) best acted but least heralded roles. He played the grizzled, wily vet passing on valuable knowledge and experience to the "wet behind the ears," rookie cop. It reminded me of my experiences with veteran F.T.O's. The sixth sense that vets developed during their careers was something to behold and aspire to. I have a lot of respect and admiration for the officers who spent most if not their entire career on the streets. That is what George C. Scott successfully portrayed. Kudos to the young Stacy Keach (Fehler) whose character matures and becomes jaded during the course of the movie. I believe this was Erik Estrada's best dramatic performance unlike the over-the-top, "CHiP's" character that he became famous for. One of the jewels in this film is Clifton James' portrayal of the crafty "Whitey" Duncan. The unique way he handles the domestic disturbance between the dysfunctional married couple, in front of his trainee (Scott Wilson), was not only hilarious but demonstrates the ability of cops who can think on their feet. James B. Sikking plays the overly ambitious,ladder climbing, and glory seeking vice sergeant who is oblivious to his subordinates' needs other than his own. This is a very realistic movie in terms of character portrayals, situations, and the dreaded fall outs of this job: divorce, suicide and being killed in the line of duty. Anyone wanting to be entertained with laughter, and emotion, plus gaining insight on what a cop faces on a day-to-day basis should view this film.
