The Onion Field
These are the actual events that took place in 1963, where John Savage and Ted Danson wanted to wear civilian clothes in the US military to investigate a pair of strangely suspicious species. The plot appears to be going through an unwanted turn when a man kills Danson in cold blood, and Savage managed to escape and arrested the remaining men.

Ranks among the best crime films of the late 1970s...and that puts the flick among some rather impressive company.

The film is generally crisp and at times exciting, but it's also full of incidents that are only sketchily explained, and minus the all-important narrative thread that might have provided a clear point of view.

Thoughtful trial movie with a disturbing edge.

The Onion Field is a serious and most uncompromising movie. It lacks, however, the sort of disciplined craft that might have made it a powerful and affecting one.
September 10, 2011
Brutal, even sordid, but compulsive viewing.

Good acting and careful direction by Becker make it worth seeing, but the violence and the language may be too graphic for some tastes.

It's the usual heavy Wambaugh brew: police procedure closely observed without a trace of romanticism, suggesting simply that life in the force is psychological hell.

James Woods as the near-psychotic Powell is chillingly effective, creating a flakiness in the character that exudes the danger of a live wire near a puddle.
