Reception
One Tough Cop was poorly received by critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a rating of 24% from 21 reviews with the consensus: "An aimless vanity piece starring a miscast Stephen Baldwin, this limp thriller tries too hard to portray the real-life Bo Dietl as One Tough Cop for him to be a believable one, too."[1]
