Based on the life of a real New York City cop, this film follows Bo Dietl (Stephen Baldwin), a police officer raised in a tough neighborhood surrounded by mobsters. When Dietl begins investigating the rape of a nun, he acts on a tip about the assailant's identity supplied by an old Mafia friend.

One Tough Cop

What to Know

Critics Consensus

An aimless vanity piece starring a miscast Stephen Baldwin, this limp thriller tries too hard to portray the real-life Bo Dietl as One Tough Cop for him to be a believable one, too.
