Movie Reviews

EmanuelLevy.Com - 9/10 by Emanuel LevyDespite compromises imposed upon German director Wim Wenders (in his American debut), it's still worth seeing this stylish film due to Forrest's performance in the lead.
The A.V. Club - 8/10 by Noel MurrayAt a certain point, Hammett gets unreasonably convoluted, but since its hero seems just as hopelessly confused by what develops, it's easy to just soak in the rich atmosphere, courtesy of Coppola's ace production designer Dean Tavoularis and a terrific John Barry score.
IGN - 7/10 by Filip VukcevicA movie that takes a while to get going, but once everything starts to come together you end up having a good time. If you're into detective films or are just looking for something atmospheric, then Hammett is a safe bet for a quiet night of mystery and intrigue.
The Guardian - 7/10 by Philip FrenchIt's a stylish, entertaining movie, starring Frederic Forrest (a dead ringer for Hammett, bar the height) as a drinking, smoking, coughing and typewriter-bashing writer lured back into detection by an old Pinkerton associate (Peter Boyle) and stumbling into the plot of The Maltese Falcon.
CinePassion - 7/10 by Fernando F. CroceA misguided venture, an exploration of the artist's mind that merely excavates the roots of hollow post-modernism
The New York Times - 6/10 by Vincent CanbyHammett, the first major American movie by Wim Wenders, isn't quite the mess one might expect, considering the length of time it's been in production and the number of people who seem to have contributed to it. It's not ever boring, but heaven only knows what it's supposed to be about or why it was made. One answer would serve both questions.
User Review - 10/10 by Chris CThough technically this film is highly uneven--I give it five stars for purely personal reasons. I love the atmosphere, the clothes, the music, and Forrest is downright perfect as Dashiell Hammett! I know the movie is far from a masterpiece...but, dash it all (poor pun intended)..I love it!
User Review - 10/10 by Knox MOne of the best pulp homages I've seen.
User Review - 8/10 by Sarah HVery entertaining. It's like and 80s film noir. Very pretty to look at, too.
User Review - 8/10 by Stephen EWim Wenders first full US feature had a bit of a troubled birth to say the least,its widely believed Francis Coppola redirected a load of the film and the story does wander about in some areas. But what emerges does have some fine moments from its cast and a very good John Barry score. Fredric Forrest plays Dashinell Hammet a hard drinking pulp writer who becomes embroiled in a missing persons case. What follows is good fun as Hammett cuts his way through the seedy San Fransisco underworld where cross and double cross are around every corner. Wenders packs his film with great supporting actors from a suitably nasty Roy Kinnear as English Eddie Hagedon ,to Elisha Cook Jnr as a heavily armed taxi driver. The films does sag in places and one wonders what Wenders original version would have been like ,but all in all this is a solid film with plenty going for it .
