Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Fairly strong follow-up to the Sinatra/Douglas private eye caper Tony Rome, with the former now a New York cop fighting crime and corruption in a determinedly sleazy environment. Well acted and directed, though Abby Mann's script is an uneasy mixture of toughness and preachiness, while the succession of gays and man- hungry women looks badly dated.
