Leave your thoughts about Shadowboxer.
| Los Angeles CityBeatAndy Klein...overheated, rarely convincing crime drama. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenAn envelope-pushing melodrama just this side of 'Pulp Fiction' parody. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenShadowboxer, a gaudy thriller saturated in sex and violence, is an extravagance that leaves you with your mouth hanging open -- partly in admiration of its audacity and partly in disbelief at its preposterousness. |
| FilmJerk.comBrian OrndorfDaniels know his way around making the viewer uncomfortable, but there's a fine line between genuine, pants-tickling eroticism and 'I can't believe I'm watching this surrounded by strangers' soft-core porn. |
| Ebert & RoeperRichard RoeperThe one thing I'll say about Shadowboxer is that it's never boring. Of course, I could also say that about stepping on crushed glass. |
| PajibaMieka StrawhornThe movie is bad, y'all. Like real bad. But, I still find a number of reasons to recommend it. |
| Film Journal InternationalDaniel EaganDespite assembling a talented cast and crew, Daniels is stymied here by a script that takes itself far too seriously. |
| Cinema SignalsJules Brenner"Mr. and Mrs. Smith" in an altered consciousness--one that'll bring arthouse habituees to attention, if not to their feet, out of respect for courage and originality. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanIt doesn't take long to figure out that Shadowboxer's Helen Mirren, as a cancer-ridden hitwoman, and Cuba Gooding Jr., as her doting stepson, are the most unconvincing team of hired assassins in movie history. |
| I.E. WeeklyAmy NicholsonAaron Spelling may be slapping his forehead, but a few cemetary plots over, 1950's melodrama king Douglas Sirk is smiling. |
