Critics Consensus

Led by a solid turn from the well-cast Thomas Jane, Crown Vic gets an impressive amount of mileage out of its familiar cop thriller framework.

Guardian

This is mediocre, mostly forgettable drama, but it leaves a nasty taste.

Rated: 1/5

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

My problem with this movie... is that it wants us to empathize with Thomas Jane's character. But the thing is, his character's just a crooked cop.

Variety

Writer-director Joel Souza's "Crown Vic" doesn't always balance those elements ideally, but it's still a respectable if non-revelatory cruise through a familiar terrain of mean streets and men in blue.

Backseat Mafia

A tense and gritty crime drama which pulls no punches.

If the Oscar-caliber Training Day is like filet mignon, then Crown Vic is like a McDonald's hamburger.

Film Festival Today

A police thriller with few police and fewer thrills, Crown Vic nevertheless offers a few rewards for the patient viewer, though these come wrapped in a derivative package.

From the exciting opening until the sober but real ending. Crown Vic is a must see! Phenomenal writing and directing by Joel Souza and lead by an amazing Thomas Jane Luke Kleintank Josh Hopkins Bridget Moynahan Scottie Thompson and David Krumholtz. A cop movie for the ages.

I loved this movie. Contrary to what the critics have said, I found it mesmerizing. The kind of movie you can't look away from. Left me wanting more.

If you like cop movies, this one will do. It's about a grizzled LAPD vet (Thomas Jane) who is tasked with training a rookie (Luke Kleintank) who is on his first night on patrol. You're probably thinking "Training Day" knockoff, and you wouldn't be far from the truth. Yet, even though this film can't be considered original, it manages to hold its own. Jane is especially good. And we get to see Bridget Moynihan, whom we mostly think of as Erin Reagan, the straight, law and order ADA from TV's "Blue Bloods," playing a scabrous, foul mouthed junkie. She overacts, of course. "Crown Vic" may not have anything new to offer, but it fulfills the genre expectations.

So much of it is typical, and regurgitated similar previous movies. And the production and casting decisions were just terrible, you don't believe anyone, including the great Thomas Jane, for who they're portraying. Some of the writing is just dumb too. But, the climax, although not that climactic, was some fun making it a tad worthy of the watch, just barely.
