Ben Sachs Chicago Reader The provocatively detached perspective that Friedkin brings to these violent scenes points ahead to his features Cruising and Rampage, and like the latter film, this asks viewers to think long and hard about the validity of capital punishment. May 14, 2015 Full Review Michael Atkinson Village Voice Economical yet flamboyantly righteous, as it should have been -- the existence of the film played at least a small part in keeping Crump out of the chair. Apr 22, 2004 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Powerful on so many levels. Rated: 3.5/4.0 Sep 19, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
