Movie Reviews

Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Kevin Thomas"Ricochet" is genuinely scary, suspenseful and disturbing in the best sense.
Variety - 8/10 by Variety StaffA taut, twisty urban suspenser powered by the spring-loaded performance of Denzel Washington in his first major action role, Ricochet has a nasty streak and a tendency toward implausible excess.
Orlando Sentinel - 8/10 by Jay BoyarRicochet is genuinely scary, suspenseful and disturbing in the best sense.
Washington Post - 7/10 by Rita KempleyAs with other Silver-smithed projects, this one is almost frighteningly competent at bashing heads and pushing all the right buttons.
Washington Post - 6/10 by Gary ArnoldDynamite action. This is a good bet for a night with the lads. And weedy girlies can at least wake up every ten minutes when Denz takes his top off.
Empire Magazine - 6/10 by Kim NewmanDynamite action. This is a good bet for a night with the lads. And weedy girlies can at least wake up every ten minutes when Denz takes his top off.
Time Out - 6/10 by Stephen GarrettMulcahy's slasher-thriller manages to be as entertaining as it is improbable and violent.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City) - 6/10 by Chris HicksEvery now and then a movie comes along that is so preposterous, so devoid of any reality or logic, you have to wonder how it got made.
New York Times - 6/10 by Janet MaslinThe screenplay, by Steven E. de Souza (whose credits include the Die Hard movies), contains many glib, obscene wisecracks, plus the misinformation that Anna Karenina was Tolstoy's first book.
Rolling Stone - 6/10 by Bilge EbiriWashington strikes the right tone of cocksure bravery as it turns into bewilderment, psychosis, and rage as the movie goes through its many wild twists and turns.
