Fort Apache, the Bronx
Paul Newman stars as an essentially decent cop patrolling that decimated, drug-and-gang-ridden borough known on the city maps as the Bronx, but known to its denizens as "Fort Apache". While Newman tries to hold on to his basic humanity and to treat even the sorriest of the people on his beat with dignity, he can't do much to convince his superiors that blind brutality is not the answer to social blight. When he witnesses fellow-cop Danny Aiello cold-bloodedly murdering a crime suspect, Newman is advised to sweep the whole incident under the rug. He refuses to do so, and as a result becomes "persona non grata" to his former friends on the force. Ed Asner co-stars as the beleaguered captain who has given up trying to treat his job as anything but a necessary evil, while Rachel Ticotin is Newman's love interest. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Fort Apache, the Bronx
Leading men and serious actors like Jack Nicholson and James Caan took career nosedives as adult roles evaporated in the youth-dominated cinema of the late '70s and early '80s, but classics like Paul Newman just kept soldiering on. Here the cool hand plays a beat cop patrolling a South Bronx wasteland of crushing poverty, drugs, and crime. How does a man keep his head about him when all around him people are losing theirs? Newman adroitly answers the question in this flinty but otherwise forgettable character study, with Ken Wahl and Ed Asner providing effective contrast as Newman's young partner and no-nonsense precinct captain. Fort Apache was filmed on location to good effect; unfortunately, the foxy Pam Grier is wasted as a murderous prostitute. ~ Nick Sambides, Jr., All Movie Guide
