Inspired by the real-life exploits of New York cop Eddie Egan (who was also the basis for Gene Hackman’s ‘Popeye’ Doyle character in The French Connection), Badge 373 is a tough detective thriller, comparable to William Friedkin’s more celebrated feature. Robert Duvall delivers a powerfully authentic performance as a brutal New York detective, ruthlessly hunting for the killer of his partner against a backdrop of social upheaval and violent gang wars.

I can't help but somehow appreciate Robert Duvall's performance in this film, even though it's ultimately quite B-grade, and it's evident that the creators didn't aim to make a proper thriller out of it. But Duvall's character is so strong that he sticks with you and you stick with him to the end. ()
