Leave your thoughts about 8MM.
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanOne of the most daring and attentive films of the year. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullThis is one for which we needn't pray for a sequel. |
| Film.comTom KeoghThere is a plodding, linear development and no semblance of a moral anchor. |
| San Francisco ExaminerCraig MarineThis is not a movie for the squeamish, by any means. But for those who like their thrillers dark and their heroes a bit more complicated and flawed than the average shoot-without-a-blink type so prevalent in today's movies, 8MM fills the bill. |
| New York Magazine/VulturePeter RainerAn exploitation movie about an exploitation movie. |
| Matinee MagazineJason ClarkQuite possibly the most revolting studio picture since the execrable 1980 Al Pacino flick Cruising |
| MoviolaJorge Avila AndradeSe salva por el buen oficio de su director y por la adecuada edición que presenta, pero pudo haber ido más allá y dejar de ser un thriller como tantos otros |
| Houston ChronicleJeff MillarWant to know what happens when an A-list director and A-list movie star attach themselves to a direct-to-cable screenplay? This. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIt is a real film. Not a slick exploitation exercise with all the trappings of depravity but none of the consequences. |
| Film BlatherEugene Novikovt's a comlpex achievement; exciting, sad and profound at the same time. It's also one of the year's first pleasant surprises. |
