Customer Reviews of Fort Apache the Bronx
IF ONLY LUMET HAD DIRECTED! If the GREAT Sidney Lumer (12 Angry Men, The Verdict,Q & A) had directed this film it would have had the potential to be a classic.No one is better than Lumet in getting at the bitterness and tension of the streets of New York,especially the racial and ethnic (Irish,Jewish,Black,Puerto Rican).Paul Newman plays an 18 year veteran Irish cop(Murphy) team up with a younger cop,palayed by Ken Wahl .This South Bronx police district is nicknamed "Fort Apach" because of its hign crime rate.Junkies,bad cops abound and Newman (excellant) trys to cope the best he can and thats' not easy considering what he is up against-High crime, a by the book new commander (Ed Asner) and very, very bad cops.The divorced Newman finds romance with a Puerto Rican nurse, movingly played by Rachel Ticotin and encounters a wacked-out hooker played by the very beautiful Pam Grier.This film needed LUMET and this DVD needed a commentary.Otherwise very good.
Paul Newman at his best!
I remember watching this movie on a VCR back in 1981, and ever since then the picture of Paul Newman in his cop uniform is embedded in my mind. I was so happy when I found out Amazon.com had this on DVD. This movie is one of the best portrayals of The Bronx in the early 80's. I definitely would recommend this movie to anyone who is into cop movies that are realistic.
Fort Apache on DVD
This is not one of my favorite movies, but my husband remembered it fondly and wanted to see it again. I had the hardest time finding any place to rent it, let alone to purchase, so I was estatic to find it at Amazon and in DVD, not VHS, format.
