Critic Reviews

Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas

As a thriller it has its moments, as a romance it's sometimes touching, but as a comedy it's too often a bust. Read full review

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert

The basic mistake in the movie isn't in the pacing, but in the storytelling. They've made the movie about its less interesting major character. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine - Staff (Not Credited)

Gotcha is a hopelessly shallow film, serving up a good deal of hokum in the ridiculous plot. It's a contrived idea to start with, and the script goes through predictable twist after twist until the inevitable conclusion. Read full review

The New York Times - Vincent Canby

Gotcha is about as devoid of personality as it's possible for a narrative movie to be. Read full review
