De Niro seems committed to the part of the sensitive loner, while Murray all but succeeds in mixing smooth and sinister, heartfelt and hot-tempered.
Derek Adams, Time Out
Mad Dog and Glory
A cop who'd rather be an artist. A mobster who'd rather be a comic. And a woman who'd rather be anywhere but between them.

Overview
Wayne Dobie is a shy cop whose low-key demeanor has earned him the affectionate nickname "Mad Dog." After Mad Dog saves the life of Frank Milo, a crime boss and aspiring stand-up comedian, he's offered the company of an attractive young waitress named Glory for a week. At first both are uneasy about the arrangement, but they eventually fall in love. However, the situation becomes complicated when Milo demands Glory back.

An almost unconscionably enjoyable movie that plays like something conceived by a contemporary, furiously hip Damon Runyon.
Vincent Canby, New York Times

Mad Dog and Glory is the kind of movie I like to see more than once.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten
Throw Robert De Niro, Uma Thurman and Bill Murray together in a Universal Pictures movie and what do you get? Something that starts off at a beautiful clip before back-pedaling like crazy into a risk-free happy ending.
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Rotten
The tone is uneven, with the dark moments lacking a tanglible sense of danger and the uplifting scenes missing a much-needed lightheartedness.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
