Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertKnife in the Head isn't a straightforward leftist political tract; it's much more subtle than that, and if it has a position, it's closer to despair than to radical reform.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Dennis SchwartzIt starts out as a political thriller, but turns ugly into a psychodrama.
User Review - 10/10 by Byron BBrilliant psychological thriller with ambient music by Tangerine Dream. I haven't seen this in years, still not on DVD, but would love to see it again.
