One Good Cop wanted to manipulate my emotions, and I was willing to let it try, but finally it was so shameless that I'd had enough.

Keaten is as good as can be within a synthetic role. [Full review in Spanish]

There's ultimately not a whole lot within One Good Cop for the viewer to enthusiastically embrace...

Not one of Michael's best but it was watchable considering they gave away the movies plot. Tim Treakle

A very underrated movie. Keaton and Russo are likeable as always. It's not a blockbuster but it's one of those feel good movies that you don't mind rewatching every couple of years or so. Definitely give it a try!

When a movie spoils the plot of the first 30 minutes by the title alone you know your not going to get a mind blowing unpredictable movie, but it still was a decent watch.

One of my favorite Michael Keaton movies. A forgotten gem. If you like Keaton check it out. The rest of the cast is stand out.
