Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertOne of the purest and most uncompromising of modern films noir. It captures above all the lonely, exhausted lives of its characters.
Rolling Stone - 10/10 by Peter TraversA hot-wired crime thriller that captures Thompson's flair for hard action, malicious wit and fevered eroticism.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 10/10 by Jay ScottIt’s a pungently atmospheric little sleeper, and one of relatively few genre flicks to portray a mentally unsound protagonist as a recognizable human being—someone who really just has one particular screw loose, such that you might not notice unless you happened to stumble against that particular joint.
Newsweek - 9/10 by David AnsenAs the drama circles their inaction, this trio of excellent performances fills the screen with a form of spiritual exhaustion, and the film slumps into noir’s typically happy-clappy comeuppance of failure, betrayal and ruin. But the mood has caught on, and the film, stamped with a stunning visual emptiness, haunts the memory for long after its sour close.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Sheila BensonDirector James Foley and his co-screenwriter Robert Redlin have pulled Thompson's story out of film noir shadows and set it unflinchingly in the desert's orange-red glare.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Joe BrownJames Foley slowly tautens the tension and turns up the erotic heat, shading this lowlife love-crime story in vaguely depressed shades of gray and burnt-out brown.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City) - 8/10 by Chris HicksThis is the real thing from start to finish.
Chicago Tribune - 8/10 by Dave KehrJames Foley's After Dark, My Sweet is a brisk, entertaining contemporary melodrama about the kind of sleazy characters who populated California crime literature 35 years ago. That's no surprise, since the screenplay, adapted by Robert Redlin and Mr. Foley, is based on Jim Thompson's novel, published in 1955.
Reverse Shot - 7/10 by Dan CallahanPatric plays one of those sweet and totally limited ex-boxers that only seem to exist in the movies and in pulp novels.
Orlando Sentinel - 7/10 by Jay BoyarDern's dirtball performance gives After Dark, My Sweet a desperately needed quality of slugged-out authenticity -- he gives the movie its edge. If anything, though, Foley makes Thompson's killing universe too inviting, too sunny and comfortable. He's missed the essence of Thompson, but all in all, there are worse ways of failing.
