Leave your thoughts about Jade.
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaA fairly suspenseful and entertaining thriller. |
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesA high point of the show, even if it does go on a bit too long, is one great car chase scene. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenEszterhas seems as bored with them as we are. He's just moving his dopey plot along, leaving Friedkin to fill in the gaps with car chases and irrelevant chinoiserie. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonThere's only one character we can identify with - a San Francisco police detective played by David Caruso - and he doesn't drive the plot so much as get swept along by it. |
| Baltimore SunStephen HunterFriedkin, to his credit, gives us a nicely compelling car chase through the near-vertical hills of San Francisco, but it's only five minutes long, and this is a 105-minute film. What to do with the other 100 minutes? No one seems to know. |
| San Francisco ChronicleEdward GuthmannDespite its posh trimmings, and Fiorentino's feline presence, Jade never rises above its limitations and never cloaks the fact that Eszterhas' dialogue and script are basically pulp -- minus the trashy fun that we've come to expect from the genre. |
| VarietyGary ThompsonWhat we want to know is why we should care about any of these stick figures. Eszterhas seems as bored with them as we are. He's just moving his dopey plot along, leaving Friedkin to fill in the gaps with car chases and irrelevant chinoiserie. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonIt's a good, solid thriller with some terrific touches by Friedkin and some truly bizarre ones by Eszterhas. |
| New YorkerBruce DionesWriter Joe Eszterhas's follow-up to his Showgirls fiasco is every bit as hopeless, and this time he takes some good actors down with him. |
| EmpireJeff DawsonJade tries so hard to be a serious, lush noir but, like the cheap sex it revels in, it is ultimately a hollow, anti-climactic experience. |
