Homicide
While investigating the ruthless murder of an elderly woman, a Jewish police detective unravels a bizarre conspiracy involving a Zionist organization.
Critics Sentiment
Gold makes vulgar anti-Semitic comments overheard by doctor's daughter
Gold refuses to steal evidence list and faces group rejection
The film drops sharply from the powerful toy shop bombing sequence to Gold's problematic moral inconsistencies and Sullivan's poorly handled death.
Homicide starts strong with compelling police work and brilliant dialogue, peaks with Gold's confrontation of his own prejudices, but struggles in the middle act with theatrical identity politics. The film recovers somewhat with visceral action but ultimately disappoints with a rushed, emotionally unsatisfying conclusion that fails to resolve its complex themes.
