Leave your thoughts about Gorky Park.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe movie is directed with efficiency by Michael Apted (Coal Miner's Daughter) who knows that pacing is indispensable to a procedural. |
| The Associated PressYardena ArarThere's enough menace and romance in Gorky Park to appeal to many, especially those helped by the memory of Martin Cruz Smith's successful novel. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittApted's tedious, literal-minded approach doesn't come close to solving the problems of a knotty, best-seller plot—the characters are reduced to telling each other what happened. Some action-movie slam-bang would have been more satisfying, if ultimately no more coherent. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinOn the whole, Mr. Apted's approach to the material is archly effective, making for a crisp, intricate thriller, well able to hold an audience's interest. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrSome action-movie slam-bang would have been more satisfying, if ultimately no more coherent. |
| PopMattersJ.C. Maçek IIIGorky Park is well done and unique amid the films of its day. While certainly made with the Cold War as its backdrop, the film never resorts to the Cold War clichés of the time. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA crackling good novel is still born on the screen. |
| VarietyVariety StaffWilliam Hurt is superb as a Moscow militia detective caught between his desires to be simply a good cop and the unfathomable motives of the secret Soviet government, all complicated by an unexpected love for Joanna Pacula. |
