Leave your thoughts about Slam Dance.
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jay ScottSlam Dance is like junk food. It's brightly packaged, looks good and satisfies the hunger for entertainment, but it isn't terribly nourishing or well-made. |
| EmpireWilliam ThomasA patchwork of a movie that ultimately knows where it's going, but doesn't really know how to get there. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThere are some nice things in "Slamdance." Hulce has a certain dogged charm as the hero who draws cartoons in the spirit, if not the style, of Gary Larson, and who is extremely upset that there is a dead body in his apartment. Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio gives a sound, three-dimensional performance as the ex-wife who has to decide if this guy is worth the trust - and the trouble. And Harry Dean Stanton remains quintessentially himself. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonIt would be tempting to say that inside “Slamdance” is a remarkable movie struggling to free itself from conventional trappings. But the opposite is true. The trappings are what dazzle you; the interior of “Slamdance” is exactly what isn’t remarkable. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumApart from a few incidental flickers of Wang’s sidelong humor, there’s little of his personality evident in this film about a divorced underground cartoonist (Tom Hulce) finding himself enmeshed in a murder plota story that steadily loses coherence and interest the longer it proceeds. |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyPut them all together and you have complete confusion, a movie without any identity whatsoever. |
| User ReviewCarmen VI love whodunits, and this one is great! I love the dark atmosphere. |
| User ReviewDean WDon't know why this movie gets so much flak. Moody, amazing soundtrack, excellent acting, typical 80s noir. |
| User ReviewBill BWatchable neo-noir that I picked up on the recommendation of a friend - was a decent little afternoon of entertainment, and something that I hadn't been aware of before so that was kinda cool. Worth a rental if you have the chance. |
| User ReviewDan SA nightmarish, Lynchian thriller featuring yuppie-in-peril Tom Hulce after the woman he's having an affair with gets murdered. There's some great ideas in this movie and it's very well made but it doesn't quite have the finesse of a David Lynch movie. |
