Leave your thoughts about Rushlights.
| MediaMikesMichael A. SmithBased on a true story, "Rushlights" could have been a very standard, by the book imitation noir film. Instead, Stutz packs it with genuine surprises and emotion. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfIt's a lousy ending stapled to an underwhelming picture, leaving Rushlights more of a bungled card trick than a steamy, scary ride of intimidation. |
| AV ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyUnabashedly pulpy, Rushlights brings to mind the noir cheapies churned out by the studios of Hollywood’s Poverty Row in the early 1950s. It has a few of the better qualities of sub-B noir—above-average camerawork, a rogues gallery of bit players — and all of the flaws. |
| Mark Leeper's ReviewsMark R. LeeperWith more engaging leads this film might be one that people would want to see a second time--just to get straight all that happened. |
| Film ThreatElias SavadaStutz has crafted a decent thriller, actually. A lesser-man's Body Heat. |
| Eye for FilmJennie KermodeThe story is competently told, the direction suits the mood, and the performances are convincing even if the characters aren't very deep. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA genre exercise that shows some promise, but descends from pleasant obfuscation into patent absurdity. |
| Movie MetropolisJames PlathIn this film about murder, the last 10 minutes are enough to kill me. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneKristin TillotsonIt all dwindles into "Who cares" long before the end of the road. |
| Film RacketJosh BellDrifts glumly from one ludicrous narrative development to the next. |
