Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

richatap5 I remember that during the filming of this, Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale were both holding out from the Dodgers. The Dodgers had won the World Series in '65 and the two pitchers wanted substantial raises. GM Buzzie Bavasi played hardball, so the two didn't report to Vero Beach. They spent their holdout on the set of Warning Shot.Jansen was a huge Dodgers fan. I think they were supposed to play cops in the film. The two had rehearsed, and filming was slated to begin on April 11. That day, Koufax signed for $125,000 and Drysdale $100,000. Other than that, Warning Shot is a run of the mill cop movie. I felt as though I was watching an episode of the Fugitive. Still, I like this film only because of the connection to Koufax and Drysdale.

bkoganbing Warning Shot features a grimly determined David Janssen trying to find out why a respected doctor pulled a gun on him and he was forced to fire and kill him. Janssen is a cop and he's got District Attorney Sam Wanamaker just itching to put him away. Janssen and partner Keenan Wynn were on stakeout looking for a serial rapist and they were both anxious enough on that assignment. Now suspended Janssen has to rely on his own instincts in pursuing his own\ investigation for vindication.Besides those already mentioned Warning Shot has a galaxy of film names of many generations going all the way back to Lillian Gish down to Joan Collins playing Janssen's estranged wife. As the film progresses these folks move in and out with some memorable and some perfunctory cameos.Janssen who carries the film handles the burden well. I have to say that Warning Shot does not carry all that much suspense in that the real villain of the piece is obvious from when we first meet the character. Still it belongs on a list of fine made for television films

MartinHafer Despite making a few lousy films, such as DONDI and THE GREEN BERETS, I've always liked David Janssen. He was a pretty good actor and I like seeing movies featuring relatively unattractive people because they are much more like us, the average viewer, than the more glamorous stars.WARNING SHOT is just one of the movies Janssen did that I really like. It's a seemingly ordinary story about a police shooting but it is so well-written and realistic that the film sucks you inside and keeps your attention. It has the look of a TV movie (with its production values) that is written for a thinking audience who doesn't just want to watch shoot outs and fights.

inspt71-1 Warning Shot is a good film with an excellent all star cast. The story has an interesting plot. A cop is falsley accused of murder and he goes around trying to find a way to get his job back and clear his name. David Janssen is the cop, Ed Begley is the boss who gets mad when things go wrong. The cast and a jazzyscore by Jerry Goldsmith makes this film worth watching. It may not be the best movie in the world nor the best mystery but it's worth watching. *** out of ****
