Leave your thoughts about Color of Night.
| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelOf all of its lies, the worst may be that Color of Night perpetuates the notion that people who seek therapy are more dangerous to others than those who don't. The film also makes a direct link between sexual appetite and violence. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLawrence O'ToolePossible unmet expectations aside, Color of Night remains compelling for a number of reasons. Foremost among them is Bruce Willis, who gives a quietly persuasive performance. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumThe plot gets so convoluted and farfetched that you still may be scratching your head after the denouement, but you probably won't be bored. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittYou thought brawny Bruce Willis couldn't play a brainy psychologist? You were right. Or maybe it's the idiocy of the movie surrounding him that sinks his performance long before the halfway mark. |
| Philadelphia InquirerDesmond RyanSomewhat preposterous but fairly watchable mystery thriller. The plot gets so convoluted and farfetched that you still may be scratching your head after the denouement, but you probably won't be bored. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonDirector Richard Rush is one of the more talented and mysterious figures in American filmmaking. But though it has been 14 years since his last feature (the 1980 live-wire classic "The Stunt Man"), his new movie, The Color of Night, is sometimes just as hip, lively and blast-your-eyes funny as ever. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonIt's far from the disaster it's said to have been, but it's also not much to write home about, either. |
| Baltimore SunStephen HunterMeant to be a steamy erotic thriller, it's more annoying than anything else. Surely you will see its Big Surprise coming by the first 15 minutes, and it never begins to achieve the kind of sultry, mesmerizing fascination it so desperately needs. |
| The A.V. ClubNathan RabinIt’s too much fun to be a failure and too transparently, giddily awful to be an unqualified success, so I’m going to split the difference. |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonThe Color of Night tries for the same mix of black humor and clever plotting, but misses by a wide margin. It'll have you laughing at it, not with it, and if you pay the full $6, it'll have you, well, seeing red. |
