The Offence proudly boasts the best and most variegated performance I have ever seen Sean Connery give. That alone makes the movie worth seeing; he makes an interesting film choice and completely sheds himself of the James Bond hero image for which he is best known. And, as is to be expected of Sidney Lumet, his technical skills as a director are always marvelous. I do believe the film could have done with some cutting here and there to make it a little more streamlined as some sections seem to drag. This is not a happy movie; there is no dark humor, no sarcastic winking, no cynical mirth as in many of Lumet's other pieces. This is a very dark and dank character study (I do so love character studies) of a cop who cracks in the worst possible way; the insidious and invidious parts of the job have penetrated the very being of Sgt. Johnson in a way that makes him not a helluva lot better than the perhaps-pedophile he kills. I don't know why this movie is not more recognized in Lumet's oeuvre or Connery's filmography.

[font=Century Gothic]In "The Offence", the police are baffled by three young girls having been kidnapped. After a fourth goes missing and is found by Detective Sergeant Johnson(Sean Connery), pressure by the police increases greatly. A suspicious looking man, Kenneth Baxter(Ian Bannen), is brought in for questioning that night by the police. All of the detectives want a crack at him, particularly Johnson who has been frustrated by a lack of developments in the case. However, his superiors have decided to let Baxter sweat it out in silence for a while. But Johnson still maneuvers his way into the interrogation room and brutally beats Baxter unconscious.[/font] [font=Century Gothic]"The Offence" is a gripping psychological drama that greatly expands upon its theatrical roots. Sean Connery is phenomenal playing his most complex character - a man who may have started out being good but now cannot escape all of the awful things he has seen and it is rotting him from the inside. And Trevor Howard is almost as good.[/font]

Sidney Lumet directed this rarely seen but extremely tight crime drama adapted from a stage play by John Hopkins. Easily the best work of Sean Connery with an equally brilliant performance from Ian Bannen. Tough dialog and unique visual touches make this one of the great lost films of the 1970s.

This is without a doubt one of Sir Sean Connery's greatest films. It's a look at police brutallity in the 1970s. Connery plays his best character ever in this film! A corrupt police seargent who's seen too much. He finally snaps in an interview where he brutally attacks and later kills a man in questioning for a child molestation case. Brilliant and well thought out, The Offence is a classic!!

This is a pretty cool old forgotten picture. sean connery is a cop who gets so pissed off that he kills the suspect. its a hell of an acting job from connery
