Q and A (Q&A)

Q & A is testimony to the validity of the old adage: a good story, when well told, can never be told too many times.

While this tough, fundamentally sound New York thriller has its moments, it's no Prince of the City.

''Q and A'' is most memorable for its performances, beginning with Mr. Nolte's.

Unfortunately, Lumet isn't the brawny social commentator he would like to be -- he's a Jimmy Breslin manque'.

Q&A is a major film by one of our finest mainstream directors. As both a portrait of modern-day corruption and an act of sheer storytelling bravura, it is not to be missed.

A New York at odds with Woody Allen's, albeit also filled with angst; where Allen dissects the middle class in the throes of its own insecurities, Lumet cruises the underbelly

Lumet pulls no punches showing a contemporary NYC plagued by racism, violence, crime, tribalism, cronyism, and corruption.

Another tour-de-force for Lumet

Sidney Lumet's third film about corruption in the NYC police department is a gritty, gripping and profane thriller with a powerhouse performance by an intimidating Nick Nolte.

Underrated crime drama with a great performance by Nick Nolte.

The type of film that wastes a good afternoon with delicious performances and weak writing.

A gritty and morally complex cop thriller featuring a haymaker of a performance from Nolte.
