MovieJawn

Although James Brolin gives a solid performance of rugged masculinity wearing down to the bone, late 1970s New York City is the star of this film, in all its alleged seedy glory.

Aisle Seat

Night of the Juggler is the kind of good, old-fashioned movie that couldn’t be made today because of how much New York City has changed.

Rated: 3/4

Revel in the sleazy intensity of Night of the Juggler, which plays like the juicy hybrid of Abel Ferrara or Sam Peckinpah with Kurosawa's High and Low.

Rated: 4/5
