- The episode states “Roger Ebert, three stars” and says he liked the film.
- The quoted review calls the premise another street-smart buddy-cop story and initially complains the genre is overpopulated.
- Ebert nevertheless says Running Scared transcends its dreary roots and becomes fun because of Hines and Crystal.
- The Times critic transcribed as Vincent Camby is described as making a similar point more negatively and steering audiences toward television police shows.
