Movie Reviews

St. Louis Post-Dispatch - 6/10 by Martha BakerThere's a genuine attempt in Gleaming the Cube to deal with the impact the loss of a brother has upon a likable, footloose teen-ager. Unfortunately, the conventions of the action-adventure/youth-flick genres prevail. The result is an exploitation picture with a little something extra--lots of awesome skateboard wizardry, culminating in a speed-of-lightning chase sequence, in which skateboards are pitted against cars.
The New York Times - 5/10 by Janet MaslinGleaming the Cube (the title refers to achieving the skateboarding equivalent of cosmic bliss) has an intrigue plot that is unremarkable, and it doesn't do anything terribly novel with the relationship between Brian and the policeman (Steven Bauer) who helps investigate the case. It becomes somewhat more interesting in exploring the Vietnamese community of Orange County, Calif., especially in its tinier details.
Washington Post - 5/10 by Richard HarringtonA slight skateboard thriller that looks more like one of those Afterschool Specials on television than a bona fide feature film.
Empire - 4/10 by Kim NewmanPerformances, plot and landings are nailed down, but there's not enough invention here for the film to achieve cult status.
Chicago Tribune - 3/10 by Dave KehrClifford can muster no interest in the cardboard characters or absurd plot developments, which leaves Gleaming the Cube to limp along listlessly between indifferently filmed skateboard demonstrations.
