MIXED Reviews
|
| | To watch [it] is to feel the great Ferris wheel of popular culture lurch full circle... De Palma dawdles through the material as though it really were The Godfather, but there's a near total absence of texture, a complete disinterest in any milieu beyond the dance floor... Inflated as the first two hours feel, the movie's final thirty minutes are an expert spiral of doom... In the end [it] seems weirdly sentimental. | | (J. Hoberman, Village Voice) A decent stab in the dark [of film noir]... Penn and Pacino keep the film fizzing for most of its two and a half hours, but there's not much originality to lift it from the enjoyable to the memorable. | | (Quentin Curtis, Independent on Sunday) A mid-life crisis movie dressed up as a thriller, a film about change and its impossibility... It is too long and ultimately no more than a showpiece, but Pacino looks every inch a movie star. | | (Tom Charity, Time Out) [Penn's] is the first truly treasurable performance of the year... [as] the Nerd from Hell... Critics have always got themselves into a tizzy over De Palma, uncertain if his films are trash or great cinema, as though these categories were mutually exclusive. But the point about [his] films is that they are both. | | | | (Anne Billson, Sunday Telegraph) |
