Dragnet Ratings & Reviews
TV Guide
TV Guide Staff
Based on actual L.A. police files, the film manages to still deliver plenty of suspense.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It beats me why Dragnet was such a popular TV show and it further surprises that this uninspiring dullish movie also did so well.
TheArtsStl
Sarah Boslaugh
The storytelling in Dragnet is as straightforward as Joe Friday himself-this leads to that which leads to that other thing which eventually leads to the conclusion you knew was coming all along.
Variety
Variety Staff
In making the transition from radio-TV to the big screen and color, this is spotty in entertainment results.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
The atmosphere is harsh and real. But Mr. Friday is not a nice policeman to anticipate as a regular hero on the screen.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
Beautifully shot by Edward Colman.
