Audience Member Mesmo sem ficar sequer perto de ser o herdeiro de "The Harder They Come", "Third World Cop" é um filme de acção totalmente cliché, que vai buscar muito do seu charme a diálogos duríssimos entre polícias e ladrões de uma Kingston armada até aos dentes. No fundo, a produção de Chris Blackwell resulta quase como um "Cobra" com as cores, o sotaque e o reggae-dub da Jamaica. Pontos também para a caracterização do vilão. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member This I think is a classic Jamaican movie-I was hooked from start to finish. Paul Campbell was wonderful. I love love love this movie right here. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I Wish They Would Make More Movies Out Of Jamaica...
