Entertainment Reviews:
Before studios insisted on an injection of sugary sentiment, this what what a New York cop thriller looked like.

Smartly edited with terrific location work in New York City. The dependable Kotto is a standout.

TV Guide
Extremely seedy and violent, this 1972 feature by Barry Shear and cinematographer Jack Priestley makes extraordinary use of Harlem locations.

Chicago Reader
It's a gutsy affair, given a distinct lift by the Harlem locations; and between the bouts of physical aggression, there are occasional moments of insight into the fraught relationship between Quinn and Kotto.

Rating: 3/5 --
Dated crime drama headed by top cast including Anthony Quinn.

Violence, especially violence at the expense of the black community, has seldom been more candidly dissected and critiqued in American film as it is in Across 110th Street.

Barry Shear's picture tries to be hard-edged and aim for realism, but doesn't always succeed.

Product Description:
The robbery of a Mafia numbers house in Harlem of $300,000 by three black men dressed as police sets off a city-wide search for the perpetrators. Quinn and Kotto give fine performances as cops divided in the common search. Quinn, as a cop on the take for most of his career, must balance his greed and the inherent need for justice in this gripping story. Excellent footage of Harlem as we see the Mafia and the police simultaneously try to track down the hoods.
