The premise that bruised feelings can get blown so far out of proportion and propel a veteran cop to risk his reputation and jettison his entire career is simply preposterous.

Martin Tsai, Los Angeles Times
Rotten

The dour "McCanick" banks way too much on what it is not telling us, making for a movie that thinks it's being cryptically suspenseful but is really just annoying.

Neil Genzlinger, New York Times
Rotten

It's a shame the script doesn't offer anything beyond loose-cannon-cop cliches.

Jordan Hoffman, New York Daily News
Rotten

The only reason to suffer through a grim wack job called McCanick is to see the late Cory Monteith in his last film role.

Rex Reed, New York Observer
Rotten

[A] numbingly inert series of dirty-cop cliches that abruptly builds to an ephemerally poignant climax.
