Okay cops & gangsters popcorn flick for couch potatoes.

The "Justice With a Bullet" episode of "Naked City", a series of journeyman cops and drama stories set in NYC, involves a contract on detective Halloran (Vance) and a couple of midwest young female tourists who find themselves in trouble with gangsters. An entertaining flick which doesn't take itself too seriously, "Naked City: JWAB" is an okay no brainer watch for couch potatoes into crime flicks.

mega-city cops take on crime and serve to judge/resolve

The essence of this film falls on judgments by police officers who, fortunately ethical and moral men, act on situations within situations in a city with a super-abundance of violence and killing. Good compound interacting story lines and above-average characterizations.

Fatally Bad

As bad as they get. This film commits the fatal error of making the viewer not care what happens to characters. The two women in this flick are so stupid that you begin to root for the bad guys so this thing would end.

This film is one of the few that was so bad that I had to turn to another channel.

Put in highbrow language, this film lacks verisimilitude. People, not even people from Ohio, simply do not act like this. Well, maybe the writers do.

There is not enough beer in the world to make this film bearable.

Better than your average TV movie

I don't usually like TV movies, I reckon that if the thing was any good it would make it to Hollywood. This one though is better than average, pretty high production values, a few interesting story twists and some nice shots of NYC (along with Toronto) hold the interest.

A slick, intriguing off-beat thriller

This Showtime cable film features a talented cast and weaves together several storylines involving the darker side of New York... from the naive and innocent tourists' nightmarish adventure to a pair of undercover cops on the streets... to an old friend's betrayal, it has it all.

Well worth a look, as is its sequel.
