Leave your thoughts about Amer.
| Sky CinemaRob DanielFans lamenting the decline of Italian fear maestro Dario Argento will be relieved to find his legacy in such talented hands. |
| MovielineStephanie ZacharekIn the end, the action sequences are just overblown and dollar-squandering, with no particular payoff in the entertainment department. The supporting actors - particularly Jones, Tucci and Luke - are the thing to watch here; they do all they can to keep the movie's gears running smoothly. |
| Brand XAndy Klein[T]hey have re-created, in exaggerated form, the virtues and vices of '70s/'80s Italian giallos... |
| Lessons of DarknessNick SchagerTommy Lee Jones provides wisecracking levity as Rogers's commanding officer, Hayley Atwell supplies the aforementioned buxom chest and accompanying tough-girl grit as Rogers's British love interest, and Johnson directs with flair, his set pieces defined by both muscularity and clarity. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenA voluptuous wallow in recycled psychosexual kitsch. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerBy turns disturbing, suspenseful, puzzling and terrifying, Amer is a stylishly directed, visually stunning pastiche of Italian genre cinema with a superb soundtrack and terrific performances from the three leads. |
| Time OutDavid JenkinsIt's perhaps asking a bit much to read it as anything more than a claustrophobic portrait of sexual danger, but it still fulfils that highly specific brief with blood-splashed gusto. |
| Total FilmKevin HarleyBruno Forzani and Hélène Cattet's baroque Belgian beauty pays homage to '70s Italian horror but brims with its own sexualised currents of threat and promise. |
| The SkinnyJamie DunnNear wordless, the film is a banquet of baroque imagery and kaleidoscopic colour. |
| Dork ShelfShelagh Rowan-LeggThese directors succeed by creating a film which needs no plot in order to keep the viewer haunted and fascinated. |
