It’s an outstanding movie, IMO. (But then I think it’s better to try magnificently and fail than to turn out most of the shit that passes for current movies.)

It really exists as an antidote to New York cop antihero movies, or maybe sort of a contentious, jaded superposition of them all. It’s an ensemble piece, full of great acting, complex dynamics, undercurrent of tragedy, abasement etc.; Stallone is brilliant.

The way the tables suddenly turn for Superboy (Rapaport) is a great turning point for the movie.
