	Author	Review
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"For all its familiar elements, 'Crown Vic' is a well-made and strongly acted effort (...) One just wishes that the film (...) didn't resemble every single cop movie and television show"	NEU
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"Some of the dialogue is a bit on the nose and we’ve seen the 'veteran & rookie' dynamic a hundred times, but Jane keeps the movie ticking"	NEU
United States	Devika Girish The New York Times	"[It deploys] a melodramatic twist and some grandiose speechifying that seems to respond defensively — and simplistically — to current debates about police brutality."	NEU
United States	John Fink The Film Stage	"A riveting procedural driven by dialogue and violence (...) A limited yet effective study of urban police work"	POS
United States	Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"The movie’s smaller human moments are more memorable than any of the more predictably pulpy, over-the-top confrontations"	NEU
United Kingdom	Cath Clarke The Guardian	"This witlessly macho crime drama is tedious enough but asking us to sympathise with trigger-happy lawmen is beyond the pale (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
