75It's a perversely comic movie ride into the wild blue of crime and punishment.
-
70Moviegoers who can make it past "Denver's" excessive violence--no small thing--and get on this film's off-center wavelength will find a grave noir comedy heavy with romantic regret, a cocky piece of work that flaunts its style and attitude and dares you not to be impressed.
-
70Tartly written and vividly performed by a fine ensemble cast, Gary Fleder's bracingly entertaining first feature covers familiar ground in a fresh, breezy way.
-
63On balance, I think it's an interesting miss, but a movie you might enjoy if (a) you don't expect a masterpiece, and (b) you like the dialogue in Quentin Tarantino movies.
-
63Colorful. [1 December 1995, p.D13]
-
63More of a pretender than a contender in a field that includes superior entries like "Reservoir Dogs" and "The Usual Suspects."
-
60Mr. Garcia gives one of his sleeker dreamboat performances.
-
60Alas, most of the surprise and the wit to be found here ends with the title.
-
50The movie features a very cool soundtrack and more hip lingo than two ears can absorb. But, like the air in Denver, this movie is spread awfully thin.
-
40Largely vapid, borderline homophobic, and surprisingly treacly.
-
Its greatest achievement is that there isn't a single convincing scene in it.
-
30An overwrought gangster fable.
-
25Like a nincompoop version of "The Usual Suspects."
-
25Has that title going for it, which might annoy or provoke you. It makes me suspicious. It's the kind of flashy, meaningless title that's usually given to drab, pointless films.
-
25Things to do in the movie theater until you mercifully die of boredom sums up this witness' response to the ordeal of sitting through this movie.
-
10Ought to be the subject of an obituary, not a review. A creepy film noir modeled on Quentin Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs," it was a stinking stiff on arrival.
