What to Know

Critics Consensus

With V.I. Warshawsky, Kathleen Turner proves more than up to the task of leading a cop thriller -- it's the script that sadly isn't up to snuff.

Janet Maslin New York Times May 20, 2003
"V. I. Warshawski" has a breezy style and a serviceable, even surprising detective plot. And it has Ms. Turner, who makes the most of V. I. Warshawski's sardonic humor. Go to Full Review
Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Jul 27, 2023

Ed Travis Cinapse Nov 2, 2018
Turner's Warshawski is bitingly hilarious, brazenly sexy, and always the smartest one in the room. Go to Full Review
