The Stone Killer is a superior example of its type -- tough cop against the mob -- and probably the best violent big-city police movie since Dirty Harry. It's not much more, nor does it mean to be.

Bronson has always been an actor who can carry a movie with his formidable presence. That’s certainly the case here.

A stone's throw from complete success.

The plot of this movie is a confusing mixture of elements which probably results from trying to fashion a film with pieces of so many others.
