…rises to several big action set-pieces; the production designer is the magician behind the James Bond look Ken Adams. Dead Bang hasn’t got much of a reputation, but it’s right on the money, showing the true colours of what was ailing within America…

It's clear immediately that Dead Bang, written by Robert Foster and directed by John Frankenheimer, isn't looking to reinvent the wheel in terms of its narrative...

A film that maybe could only be more absurd if Woody Allen played the Don Johnson role.

John Frankenheimer was unhappy with the way the studio cut this one, but it remains a competent, watchable action-thriller. Most memorable for a scene where Don Johnson's hungover cop pukes on a suspect.
