...Manchester-born son of a locomotive engineer, Evans won high marks for his 14-year stewardship of the Sunday paper,* which he enlivened with eye-catching layouts and hard-hitting investigative stories (the thalidomide scandal in 1972 and 1977, a series on brutal prison conditions in Ulster in 1972). Unlike its daily counterpart, the Sunday Times (circ. 1.4 million) was usually in the black...
...comes as no surprise that these attacks are happening now. Reagan sponsors brutal political repression through "friendship" with the likes of South Korea's Chun Doo Hwan, and lethal aid to the murdering junta in El Salvador. And on the home front, the racist "justice" in Greensboro set the stage for Reagan's America: it's open season on Blacks, workers and the left...

...there are some good, quick comic bits among the gang in the station house, an interesting doomed romance between Newman and a Puerto Rican nurse (Rachel Ticotin), and some all right, brutal but brief action. Beyond that, the movie takes a liberal attitude toward its milieu, falling neither into despair nor into the tough-minded rightist posturing that marks most police epics, which tend to be cut along the Dirty Harry bias...
