The underrated George Peppard stars as a maverick cop in this police actioner that probably seemed pretty standard in 1974. But given how silly the action genre has become in recent years, it's now a solid piece of work. And like another underrated police film from the early '70s, "Electra Glide in Blue," the downbeat ending is as surprising as it is gutsy. Fans of Peppard will probably enjoy this one, but good luck in trying to find it. Like many marginal films from this era, "Newman's Law" has aged very well.
