Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Peter StackIntelligent and crackling with crisp, provocative visual energy, Copycat, the new thriller starring Sigourney Weaver and Holly Hunter, is so creepy and dangerous-feeling that it's like a knife edge pressed against the jugular.
Combustible Celluloid - 9/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonIt's not the kind of title that anyone would seek out, but it's a fine movie if you're just going to be watching a little TV.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertIt creates original characters - Hudson and, especially, the little dynamo M. J. - and makes them more important than the plot. We care, and that's the key.
ReelViews - 9/10 by James BerardinelliWith its rare mixture of intelligent plotting, flawless acting, and start-to- finish tension, Copycat is a force to be reckoned with.
Groucho Reviews - 8/10 by Peter Canavese[Gives] Weaver equal billing with everyone's favorite Southern spitfire, Holly Hunter. Teaming up these heavyweights is the genius notion of Copycat, a solid serial-killer thriller elevated by phenomenal acting. [Blu-ray]
Entertainment Weekly - 8/10 by Ken TuckerThe movie is, in short, a trash conundrum. What nearly redeems the movie is its acting.
San Francisco Examiner - 8/10 by Barbara ShulgasserCopycat is as steady and reliable as a pulse and as exhilarating as a surge of adrenalin.
Variety - 8/10 by Todd McCarthyEnding is on the conventional side, more so than anything else in the picture , but script by Ann Biderman and David Madsen keeps the tart surprises coming throughout most of the picture with only occasional lapses into red herrings and artificial manipulation.
Newsweek - 7/10 by David AnsenJon Amiel, who previously directed "Sommersby," delivers a taut, gripping thriller and, with the help of his accomplished leads, succeeds in camouflaging some of the mammoth holes in Ann Biderman and David Madsen's otherwise intelligent and inventive screenplay.
The New York Times - 7/10 by Janet MaslinThe screenplay for Copycat, by Ann Biderman and Jay Presson Allen from a story by David Madsen, is otherwise so crackling good that character development threatens to eclipse the actual crimes.
