For rookie cop Roy Fehler's first assignment, he's paired up with veteran Andy Kilvinski to work the streets of East Los Angeles. It's a tough job in a tough neighborhood, but, despite getting shot after only a short time on the force, Roy comes to love it. He gradually begins to put police work before all else, and, when his marriage fails as a result, Roy soldiers on unfazed, taking solace in a new relationship with a nurse.

Any dispute here between the rule of conservative law and the rule of communal dissidence is dramatized at the level of a wrangle between faith healers about the advantages of rival incantations.

Top-billed George C. Scott is excellent as the veteran policeman who imparts his philosophies on his rookie partner, although it's Stacey Keach, as said partner, who essays the largest role.

A bristling little slice of character driven discomfort.

The big problem is the screenplay which is, you should excuse the expression, one long cop-out.

Hard hitting, especially for its time, with George C. Scott in lead.

Os Novos CenturiÃµes (1972) #MovieReview 3,5 â?ï¸? O filme apresenta novos recrutas com policiais mais velhos e experientes e a rotina das ruas de Los Angeles, assim como os dramas familiares. George C. Scott muito bem e trilha de Quincy Jones. Muito bom!

The New Centurions is a disappointing film. It is about an idealistic rookie cop who joins the LAPD to make ends meet while finishing law school. George C. Scott and Stacy Keach give terrible performances. The screenplay is badly written. Richard Fleischer did a horrible job directing this movie. I was not impressing with this motion picture.

saw it in theater in '72. Barely remember it. Was a pretty big movie, way back then. Back then i wdn't have believed i wd ever be saying: can't believe this is a young Stacey Keach. G.C. Scott always great. And LAPD ! Still, as i recall, the story was kind of a downer, and i'm not eager to see it again.
