Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times Mar 20, 2014
The premise that bruised feelings can get blown so far out of proportion and propel a veteran cop to risk his reputation and jettison his entire career is simply preposterous. Go to Full Review
Neil Genzlinger New York Times Mar 20, 2014
The dour "McCanick" banks way too much on what it is not telling us, making for a movie that thinks it's being cryptically suspenseful but is really just annoying. Go to Full Review

It's a shame the script doesn't offer anything beyond loose-cannon-cop cliches. Go to Full Review

1/5

5.23/10
A ho-hum B-movie with an A-list cast. Besides the solid performances, it offers nothing else to hold your interest. Go to Full Review

Kylo G Feb 8, 2019 Anti-homophobia is not a guarantee of a nice B movie. (Mauro Lanari)
Leia R Feb 23, 2017 drab lifeless boring. an ageing cop trying to hunt down an ex contact he put behind bars years earlier.
Luke S Feb 21, 2017 Moody cop-thriller, which is pretty much all about Morse's mindset. The plot gets convoluted towards its end.
