The classiest aspect of the production is the pictorial glamor and dynamism achieved by Reynolds and cinematographer William Fraker. Sharky's Machine always looks alive. Full Review

Directing himself in Sharky's Machine, Burt Reynolds has combined his own macho personality with what's popularly called mindless violence to come up with a seemingly guaranteed winner. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- A tough, gritty and occasionally sadistic police thriller with director/star Burt Reynolds in peak form.

Would be laughable if not for its intensity of romanticism Full Review

Sharky's Machine marks Burt Reynolds' emergence as a first-class director of urban action-drama. With the skill of a veteran, he pilots a rollercoaster ride from one breath-taking sequence to another, with occasional pauses for romance and humor. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- Reynolds was coasting at this point of his career, with zero risk-taking it ends up as a soulless, below-average movie. Full Review
Empire Magazine

Overall, Sharky's Machine manages to get enough good stuff onto the screen to suggest that Reynolds is at least a competent director but undoes most of its good effects long before it reaches its sordid climax. Full Review
