      R. S The movie was interesting to watch and Hurt was the perfect guy to play against Marvin. It was intelligent and clever which probably dropped many Sesame Street fans but it was consistent. I bought the DVD and have watched it dozens of times. My Mom liked the Rolls Royce and I finally located one we could afford and they owned it until they died. I read every one of Martin Cruz Smith's books and went to Moscow and ST Petersburg several times. The character Renko became famous and the writer a Best Seller. It's a shame he has Parkinson's now, he is so bright and articulate. His books are at the top of my list of favorites not just for detectives but for any kind of writing. Just excellent Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/20/24 Full Review KB B I admit I never watched this one because I thought the title was so dumb. After watching it 50 years later I realized I didn't miss that much. It was a pretty convoluted plot that was too long. I'd never want to watch it again. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/24 Full Review Roger J I have always loved this movie... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/24 Full Review Alec B Solid police procedural. The Soviet setting adds a welcome extra layer of intrigue. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/10/24 Full Review paul d Taut, intelligent thriller.

      Variety Staff Variety William Hurt is superb as a Moscow militia detective caught between his desires to be simply a good cop and the unfathomable motives of the secret Soviet government, all complicated by an unexpected love for Joanna Pacula. Mar 26, 2009 Full Review Time Out Neither Dennis Potter's screenplay nor the heavyweight cast can raise this adaptation of Martin Cruz Smith's best-selling spy novel above the ordinary. Feb 9, 2006 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times By the end of Gorky Park, we realize that it's not the solution that matters, but what the case itself forced the people to discover about themselves. Rated: 3.5/4 Oct 23, 2004 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Has its wintry moments in the snow. Rated: B- Aug 31, 2021 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy The Cold War intrigue works better than the murder-mystery angle. Rated: 3/4 Feb 19, 2021 Full Review Tom Meek Cambridge Day A cast worth seeing no matter who's helming the project. Rated: 3/4 Jan 19, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
