Newman's Law (1974)


Universal Pictures
Directed by Richard T. Heffron
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(Rarefilmm)

Straight-shooting, middle aged cop George Peppard stumbles upon a major drug ring during a routine bust at a house. He wounds a fleeing suspect in the leg, but he inexplicably dies of a head wound at the hospital. Peppard gets suspended after drugs are planted at his apartment. He decides to clear himself by investigating on his own. The trail leads to the mafia and, much to his surprise, his own police department. Solid 70s cop flick set on the streets of L.A., though it does have that made-for-television feel to it.
