Michael Keaton and wife Rene Russo want to adopt Anthony LaPaglia's three young daughters after he is killed on duty with partner Keaton by his side in this dull, slow-moving and uninteresting little film. The typical problems arise as the couple need money to move to a larger place before they can legally claim guardianship of the girls. Could this mean that Keaton will get involved in crooked dealings to get the cash they so desperately need? Predictable and amazingly cheap-looking film that just never does generate any drama or real intrigue. 2 stars out of 5.
Micheal Keaton is one of my favorite actors for a few reasons, Batman, Batman Returns, one good cop , & johnny dangerously kinda gives u the impression that hes cool, calm & collective, but under the surface hes a razor sharp bad-ass. Keaton delivers a heart warming story about a good cop who is faced with putting food on the table for his family and has had enough with bad guys shooting at cops. Keaton does whats right to obtain justice , i mean hey we gave cops a badge to do the right things above the rest of us didn't we? so why waste another tax dollar on your ordinary fat cat cop eating donuts doing Dilly squat, next time just hire........ " one good cop"
The stage curtains open ...
Before the event of the Quentin Tarantino film, "Jackie Brown", this 1991 movie was Michael Keaton's bid to enter the action arena which was so prevalent at the time. It is also a film with warmth and heart. Though it feels disjointed in places, this is an entertaining entry into Keaton's silver screen work.
When Artie Lewis's (Keaton) partner is killed while on duty, he leaves behind three young girls and not much else. While facing death almost daily, resisting the temptation to be on the take, Artie and his wife decide to fight for the girls and give them a home. This is the story of how one good cop endures the daily struggle of trying to bring justice out on the streets and still make ends meet on the home front. Finally, he is faced with a life changing decision ... one that may force him to do something he doesn't want to so that he can do what is ultimately right.
This is very typical of an early 90's action film with a little over-the-top violence, but nothing too heavy. Keaton does a decent job on the believable scale turning in a good performance. As I mentioned before, there are parts that seem out of place, but overall, this was an entertaining movie. The pacing is decent with some lulls, but I felt those were necessary to the story. I enjoyed Rene Russo in this one as the loyal, yet frustrated wife. And the three girls were perfect for their roles.
I would recommend this one, but not highly. Not necessarily one I would watch a lot, but one I might pull out some time down the road and probably enjoy just as much. I think this would have to be a sentimental favorite - a movie that would take someone back to a good time in their life or to this era of film making, or for a big fan of Michael Keaton. A solid 7 out of 10 stars.

This is an excellent movie that surprised me at every turn. It felt like watching someones real life, with up and downs and real decisions. One Good Cop is an uplifting story about a good person with difficult decisions to make. After the death of his partner Keaton and his wife (Rene Russo) are given custody of his three girls. Keaton cannot afford three kids and foster care will split the kids up. The decision that Keaton makes is brutal but for people who are desperate sometimes something brutal is the only solution. I had never heard of this movie before but it has become one of my favorites. Michael Keaton gives a great performance the entire way through. This is a 4 for 4 star movie.
MICHAEL KEATON is a great actor hes one of them actors you forget you are watching a movie & think its real life video footage. kinda like NICK NOLTE - GARY OLDMAN - PETER STORMARE but anyways KEATON plays a COP who when his partner is killed in the line of duty who had 3 kids he doesn't want them to be in an orphanage but his house is too small by SOCIAL SERVICES standards to house 3 kids so he robs a drug kingpin who indirectly had something to do with his partners murder so he can buy a bigger house so he can adopt his partners 3 kids & he gives the rest of the money to the orphanage he didn't want his partners 3 kids to go to in order to help the other kids their. they say even criminals have right & a COP is supposed to go by the book but sometimes you gotta just say what the F#@k & do what you gotta do
