Critic Reviews

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Liam Lacey

Brainless, but enjoyably over-the-top, the retro gang melodrama, Deuces Wild represents fifties teen-gang machismo in a way that borders on rough-trade homo-eroticism. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine - Ken Fox

Director Scott Kalvert returns to wring every last cliché out 1950s juvenile delinquent movies, without adding anything particularly fresh to the formula. Read full review

New York Post - Lou Lumenick

Sort of "West Side Story" set in 1958 Brooklyn -- minus the music or competent storytelling -- is clearly not dealing from anything close to a full deck. Read full review

Boston Globe - Jonathan Perry

Just about the only things that remotely redeem this movie are the solid acting performances by the principals, who make the most of the one-dimensional material given them. Read full review

Seattle Post-Intelligencer - William Arnold

In its best moments, resembles a bad high school production of "Grease," without benefit of song. Read full review

Washington Post - Michael O'Sullivan

Propelled not by characters but caricatures. Read full review

Village Voice - Jessica Winter

An endless chain reaction of cartilage-crunching, organ-pulping brawls. Read full review

Shaky acting, lame and unrealistic fight scenes, boring, cliché and unoriginal story, predictable ending, unnecessary supporting characters, stupid and unnecessary slow motion scenes,... Those are just some of the things you will find in Deuces Wild. If it appeals to you, then, watch it.
