Several members past and present of the Baltimore Police Department's homicide squad are brought back together when their former skipper and current mayoral candidate, Al "G" Giardelli (Yaphet Kotto), is gunned down by a would-be assassin. As former partners Frank Pembleton (Andre Braugher) and Tim Bayliss (Kyle Secor) conduct their own personal search for the perpetrator, the comatose "G" discovers that not all police review boards are conducted by the living. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Jordan Hiller, Bangitout.com
Homicide, David Mamet's ponderous film about a Jewish cop losing his way, loses its way whenever it wanders from the scene of the crime
-
Chris Barsanti, PopMatters
In Homicide's electric pop of language, Mamet provides a grand kind of stage for the ugly catalyst of jealousy and racial hatred that curdles in just about every character's mind.
-
James Kendrick, Q Network Film Desk
one of Mamet's strangest and most compelling films
-
Christopher Long, Movie Metropolis
The doomy mood of the final scenes packs a wallop that's missing from Mamet's more contrived narratives.
-
Paul Brenner, Filmcritic.com
a high wire neo-noir that bravely incorporates the urban thriller with the crazy twist of religious conversion and the saving/condemning of a divided soul.
